Thanks for this. I've done some searches on the web, and it would appear that 
Skype's been improved. I've just downloaded it onto my iPad, and it seems to be 
working fine. It's very encouraging. I can find my contacts, scroll through 
them, choose what I want to do with them. The only thing is I can't see their 
status although I can set my own status to "online, away, busy, etc.". I can 
call up the feature which allows me to call landlines or mobiels. Skype seems 
to require portrait mode. I'm really very pleased with it. Unlike facebook 
Skype seems to care about blind/visually impaired people.

Best wishes

Simon
