Skype finally comes to the iPhone

Skype for the iPhone was released in the App Store today. Unfortunately, it was crashing on startup - it showed the Skype blue logo and then crashed back to the home screen. A quick Google query led me to discover that I'm not alone - this affects many "jailbroken" iPhone users.

UPDATE: To fix this on a jailbroken iPhone, update the package "Mobile Substrate" on Cydia to version 0.9.2803-1 (or higher). After the update Skype works great!

Your contact form has an issue with the SMTP, apparently.<br /><br />So here goes:<br /><br />Hey man,<br /><br />If your blog's title read &quot;Ruby, Music, and Single Malt Scotch Whisky&quot;, then I might have started stalking you. But since I know nothing about .NET or any other platform other than the beginning steps of Ruby, you are safe.<br /><br />Nice articles, though. As long as they aren't about the riddling world of .NET coding. :)<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Cytizen

Thanks a lot for letting me know about the problem with my SMTP settings. It's now working again! :)
