Skype, which has simplified the name of its Skype Access WiFi product to the more direct Skype WFi, has launched an iOS version that works on Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL) iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.

Skype WiFi lets Skype users use over 1 million Wi-Fi hotspots globally.

The new iOS app, now available on Apple's App Store, gives Skype users access to more than 1 million Wi-Fi hotspots globally.

Users need to be running iOS 4.1 or above with multi-tasking.

Skype is pitching the Wi-Fi app as "great for travelers." If you've ever gotten stuck buying 24-hour access to other services, Skype's deal, which charges only for the minutes you use, isn't a bad deal; you can avoid data roaming charges when you update Facebook, send a tweet, make a Skype call or upload photos.

Prices through Skype start at six cents per minute.
