can someone with the earlier skype (the iphone one on an ipad 1) receive video from someone using this new version?

I confirm that it's possible to receive video on the original iPad. It's not perfect, but bottleneck here is probably camera or WiFi connection.

Thanks! family in AU has ipad1, we've got a 2 here, so I wanted to try to surprise them tomorrow. :)

I am not convinced you got an answer to the qusetion you posed. The way I read this, is:

Q: can one receive video using the Skype for iPhone released months ago from this new Skype for iPad?

A: yes, you can receive video on an iPad 1 (the one without camera), using this new Skype for iPad.

The iPhone version on the iPad classic should be replaced with the iPad version, then good to go.

What are the differences between the two versions? I doubt a different version got approved that quickly.

Skype is a huge company, there may have been some politics involves.

Generally showstopper / crash bugs. The review process can move pretty quickly in that case, if you are a big dev.

Now I know where they got their design for the latest Skype 5 ...

This is great news! Been waiting for this one for a while now.

I would love to be able to install it on my Android to, it is only available in the U.S. market, I live in south America
