This is definitely an application that is going to benefit from Push Notifications when they finally arrive later this year. Until that happens the application is going to be of relatively limited benefit since people will be unable to call you (Call Forwarding to your iPhone's phone number can be used but will cost you Skype Credits). Further, if the application cannot run in the background then you'll be unable to access you iPhone's other functions during a call, which definitely puts it at a disadvantage when compared to the normal phone application.
