Does Skype Work With Firmware 3.0 On An Unlocked 3G Phone?

If you upgrade to the new 3.0 firmware will you be forced to upgrade to the newer 1.0.3 version of Skype on your iPhone?

And if so, will Skype 1.0.3 run with an unlocked and jail broken 3G iPhone running Ultrasn0w?

I am asking because I had heard that the 1.0.3 version of Skype will not run on a 3G iPhone unlocked using Yellowsn0w.

Thanks.

Never head of such think. I am pretty sure it will work though. As far as I know skype is one of the most flexible app on the iPhone.

Thanks Terry. I had heard that Skype had purposely blocked the DevTeam unlocking software Yellowsn0w on the latest release of Skype since I think Apple asked them to do that. I don't know all the details, but this is why I haven't upgraded to the latest version of Skype and I am still running the first release. An upgrade to 3.0 would of course though require a Skype upgrade and thus why I was posing the question.
