Shape Services, the well known developer behind the popular IM+ universal instant messenger has taken their first stab at the Palm Pre’s webOS platform with their IM+Skype app.  The app brings all of the typical features of Skype to your Palm Pre, including:

  • – cost effective voice calls to other phones
  • – free calls to other Skype users in the United States
  • – instant text messaging with other Skype users
  • – easy and intuitive interface.

I am thrilled to see the beginning of new apps dribbling into my Palm Pre.  Hopefully this is only the beginning of a long deluge which could eventually populate the App Catalog.
