Skype Widget

Now that we all have Skype up and running on our N97, does anyone know of a 'Skype Widget' that I can have running on the homescreen?

I have it running in the background but would like to see my contacts updating on the homescreen as and people sign and and out, who's online etc. Whilst it's no great hassle just to go back into Skype, I thought it would be nice to have a widget type thing.

Ta muchly

woud be cool if it worked and you use skype, i personally dont anymore.

what other widgets can you get for it that work in a similar way?

One came with the official Skype app but many people have reported it going missing from time to time :con?

[EDIT] I've just checked my phone and sure enough the Skype widget has disappeared from my content list. I opened Skype and left it running in the background, checked my content list and... guess what... it reappeared again. I don't use Skype often enough to require a widget on my homescreen so it doesn't bother me, but it's something they're gonna have to work on nonetheless.

D'oh.

Just seen it and have loaded it up on the homescreen, though it's not quite what I wanted, it'll do for now.

AS I'm abroad, I use it Skype quite a lot, and have recently purchased a Nottingham landline number ( �10 for 3 months ) so anyone in the UK just has to dial a landline number and it comes through to my Skype ( either on the laptop or my N97 ! ) so thay can ring free totally free or very low cost.

Thanks for the tip.
