Skype's Internet phone and video chat application for Apple's iPad was available late Monday, but was quickly pulled from Apple's online stores. Skype said in a Twitter message that it had gone live prematurely.

"We know you've been eagerly awaiting Skype for iPad and apologize for the inconvenience", the Luxembourg-based company said in a second message on Twitter.

It is not clear when Skype on iPad, which was reported to go live over a month ago, will now be available. A video of the application running on the iPad was posted online in June.
