Skype Starts Mutitasking on iOS4
Techtree News Staff, Jul 22, 2010 1743 hrs ISTYou can now receive Skype calls while other apps are running
Skype has announced the launch of an updated version of its application for the iPhone and the iPod Touch.
The new version of the app allows Skype users to make calls as earlier. What is different this time is the inclusion of the support for multitasking. This means you can receive Skype calls while other apps are running, even when the iPhone is locked. During a call, users can keep the conversation going while you switch to another task, such as checking a movie listing or reading an email. The app also supports the higher resolution of the new Retina Display.
Skype has also dropped its plans to levy a supplement charge to make calls over 3G, a decision that has been welcomed by most Skype users.
If you are running iOS 4 on an iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, or a third-generation iPod touch , you might want to get this new Skype app from the App Store very soon!
