As was previously announced, Yahoo Messenger 2.0 is now live on the Apple Store. Unfortunately this is not the best app and is missing the basic things:

• As an app specifically builty for iOS 4.1, the icons are not made for the retina screen and look like crap
• Even though the Ipod Touch 4th gen has 2 cameras and works with Face time, Yahoo made this version compatible only with Iphone 3GS and 4

Hopefully, based on user pressure we will be seeing a new version pretty soon that fixes all this issues

UPDATE:

And here we have it, an official answer from the development team, on their official blog:

We’re working on support for video on iPod Touch 4 and hope to release an update very shortly. Appreciate your patience.

Reuters has announced yesterday that Yahoo! will be the first popular app on Iphone / Ipod Touch (4th gen) that will feature video chats. While there are some apps that do that (Fring for example), Yahoo has the benefits of a large user base and the desktop integration will make it an instant winner. Hopefully, by this, Skype will be finally motivated to make the step forward and release an update.

From what Reuters has found out, this is not just an idea or a project in development but a final app that has already benn submitted and  is pending the approval:

UPDATE 2: A Yahoo spokesperson clarified that the iPhone app has not yet been approved.
