Skype Push
In a nutshell: iPhone push notifications for Skype!
I'm a huge fan of Skype. I use it every day for personal and business communication, and like you, am disappointed that the Skype client for iPhone doesn't support push notifications.
However, with Skype being a part of my every day life, I took matters into my own hands! Through the power of the Skype API and iPhone SDK, I created this Skype extension and iPhone app, and now want to share it with the world. I apologize for it not being free, but I've tried to anticipate demand ahead of time in terms of selecting a reliable host for the app's push server. I'm aiming to keep it at the 99 cents price point, though!
HOW TO USE:
1) Launch the app, then sign in with your Skype credentials. This is a one-time setup task, and we do NOT store your Skype password!
2) Download and install the Java Runtime Environment if you haven't already, from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
3) Grab the Skype extension here, currently available for Intel Mac OSX 10.5 and Windows XP/Vista/7.
Windows XP/Vista/7:

Intel Mac OSX 10.5+:

4) Launch Skype, then launch the extension.
5) When prompted, you MUST -allow- the extension (shown as javaw.exe on Windows, Skype Push for iPhone Extra on OS X) to communicate with Skype.
6) From here, as long as Skype and the extension are running, you should receive iPhone push notifications for all new incoming chats (and calls on Windows)! You can always tell the app to disable push notifications for a certain time period, or shut them off altogether, for when you are in front of your computer.
If you have issues, **please don't just leave a bad review and delete the app**! I want to help! Email me at the support link and I'll do my best to help you get set up!
