It’s not the first way to get Skype up and running on your iPhone, but it promises to be the most elegant (that is, until Skype themselves come up with a client): Shape Services have released a beta of their IM+ for Skype software that is compatible with any Java browser, including Apple’s cellphone. Right now the site is obviously getting hammered by early-adopters, and is refusing to play ball, but until we can bring you some hands-on details here’s a few launch tidbits to tide you over…
