Your contact list will populate on the right of the screen and you can connect with someone by tapping their portrait. After doing so you can import contacts from any of your existing accounts - including Outlook, Mail, or Apple's iContacts. When you open Skype for iPad, you must either sign in or create a new account. Where other desktop apps stumble in their transition to the touch screen, Skype thrives and it shows in nearly every facet of its iPad release.
Skype for iPad is a finely implemented mobile version of the incredibly popular global communication tool, complete with voice and video chat, contact management, and more.
