The latest reports from AllThingsD indicate that Skype plans to unveil its app for the iPad next week but it appears the cats out of the bag before it could be released in a blaze of glory.

“I bet there are some angry Skype calls going around inside the company’s headquarters over this one,” the tech blog adds.
