Looks like skype killed access to its services via fring. They are no longer in partnership

...They temporarily disabled Skype because of the load on its servers due to the iPhone.

Thats what people thought, there is a article on gizmodo explaining what happend. Basically fring removed skype cuz of bandwidth issues, then skype basically said fring was violating its API policy so its removed.

www.fring.com Scroll to the bottom and tell me what the skype icon says on the bottom haha

Wow. When I was first reading your post I was thinking you were dead wrong but you proved me wrong. Maybe we can see an official Skype app soon, soon being a relative term of course.
