Tom Keating, CTO, VP, Founder of TMC Labs, recently wrote Skype on the iPhone was not possible. Well, there is a workaround that will enable you to use Skype on the Apple iPhone. Technically, the Skype client still is NOT running on the iPhone, but instead uses a workatround to enable many of the Skype features on the iPhone.

Essentially, the workaround is to install SoonR Talk, a AJAX-enabled application. SoonR?s AJAX-enabled interface is available now for any mobile phone that can run the Opera Mobile browser version 8.6 and above, including the Apple iPhone. I should mention that unlike WAP-based Skype solutions which require a manual click to refresh your page in order to receive new chat responses, SoonR Talk’s AJAX interface will auto refresh when you have an incoming chat. It will also automatically update presence information for your buddies.
