The Skype application for the iPhone was earlier tweaked to make sure users enjoyed calls over 3G or Wi-Fi effortlessly. With the latest version, the company eases communication through the smartphone even further. Enthusiasts can now not only enjoy high quality calls but also take advantage of multitasking capabilities of the iPhone.
According to Skype’s The Big blog, the application enables users to multitask as they can receive Skype calls while enjoying other applications and even when the devices are locked. During a call, they can start up any other service like checking a movie listing or reading an email. The graphics of the application are also enhanced to support the retina display of the iPhone 4.
Skype believes that if the quality of calls and availability is superior, then this can lead to an increase in the call frequency and a long lasting call period. The company also believes that a drastic change is seen in the mobile industry like some operators have started with tiered pricing models. With minimal rates, users can send text messages and call their friends staying abroad from their phonebook.
The Skype application can be purchased for free through the iTunes. The application is compatible with the iPhone 3G, 3GS, iOS 4, iPad and iPod touch.
