maybe we can get the source code and someone can comment out the line that forces you to turn off wifi, then re-market the app under a pseudonym.
I have the skype lite beta program if thats what you are referring to.

skype via fring works fine for me over wifi (& in airplane mode).
I don't really understand why skype doesn't work directly (i.e. w/o fring) over over wifi, but my guess is that it's cheaper for them to develop a client which phones into their network (via VZN), rather than developing their own client which works over wifi. But who knows.
Who really sits around searching for wifi when you have 3g capabilities? Stop being cheap and get an upgraded data plan
I downloaded the Skype app in the marketplace, and installed it on my Droid. I ran the app and it is severely crippled - no Skype over WiFi! What is the point?
I knew it was too good to be true w/Verizon... Skype app now uninstalled.
There is no way that Verizon will allow people to sit on WIFI and make free calls all over the place. They are allowing it over 3G and Skype to Skype is free. The only thing they can do is maybe come up with a monthly charge to allow unlimited via WIFI, but no way they are going to allow it for free. Think about it.
now I can call all my friends on the east coast when they're logged in on their skype and all it uses is my minutes?? Perfect!!
Without Skype I can call my friends all over the entire country and all it uses is my minutes.
Skype to Skype calls, although they use Verizon's voice network, do not use your plan minutes.
My brother is on a relief mission in Haiti. He can call my Droid's Skype any time using Skype on his laptop and we talk as if it were a regular cell phone call, only it's free. So the lack of wifi on Verizon's Skype app doesn't make it entirely useless.
