Two Short Comments about iPhone Apps

What is happening with the new Tumblr iPhone app? I wrote that the Tumblr 1.1 version was submitted for review on Oct.2nd submission and then it was confirmed again on Oct.15th when details about the new features were announced. That’s almost 4 weeks now. Any news?

I love being able to use Skype on my iPhone. Unfortunately it looks like the app is still missing a lot of essential functionality (f.e. making conf calls) and the user experience is not the best (try to answer an incoming call when you are typing something in a chat). I hope upcoming versions will address some of these issues. I am also not sure if Skype can work over 3G. Anyone knows if that’s possible?
