You can actually see the status of a contact, by double tapping then flicking threw the screen that pops up. That's how it is on the iPhone/pod, thus, I assume it should be available on the iPad as well, (of which I really, really, desperatly would love to have one!)

Warm regards,

Subject: Re: Skype on the iPad


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

It works on the IPhone and I'd think that it would on the IPad too. I'll be getting my IPad 2 in a couple of weeks and I can offer up my analysis then.

Hello All,

Is Skype on the iPad accessible? Does anyone on the list use it to chat with friends? If not Skype, is there an alternative that would be accessible for Voiceover users?

Thanks a lot.

Simon
