Yeah, they have to be approved before they are listed on the iTunes store- some apps have been pulled after posting, though (like one that allowed tethering to a laptop). After checking the settings of the program it provides Skype chat access, as well as MSN, ICQ, SIP, Google Talk, Twitter, Yahoo chat, and AIM. I don't think the VOIP is tied to Skype, but the app does tie into both your chat buddies and your contact list on your phone, so calling from VOIP is pretty straightforward. As I said, I only used the VOIP once (there's a test call function) but it seemed to work fine (but will only work if you have WiFi access; won't work via the 3G connection). This app has been consistently mentioned as one of the best apps on the iTunes store; give it a try...
