Skype No Go With New MacBook Air!

Skype No Go With New Mac Book Air! http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/
It seems the new Mac Book Air (2010) is not happy with Skype 2.8 and Skype Developer site has the issues assigned.
Even without that, VoIP Watch is reporting that even though Skype is third party software as far as Apple is concerned, Apple support has spent quite a long time gathering information on the fact. Andy Abramson has both the Macbook Air, the old which has no trouble with Skype and the new which refuses to speak Skype.
I am sure it will be solved soon.
