Skype Brings Multitasking to its iPhone App
iOS 4 was probably the last in line of smartphone operating systems which introduced the ever-so-important multitasking feature. However, when Apple did incorporate multitasking with iOS 4, the newest version of the operating system, they claimed that had done it “the right way”. Skype, a popular VoIP and IM service now is also adding the native multitasking support into its app for the iOS and iPhone.
The official statement from Skype regarding the newly released multitasking support for its iOS app is as follows:
“Run Skype in the background with multitasking in iOS4. Receive Skype calls and IM while other apps are running or when your iPhone is locked. You can also continue your call while you switch to another application. Multitasking is available only with iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS.”
The new feature will help users better manage how their Skype utility works on their hand held device making things easier and efficient. What’s still missing from Skype though is the Skype-to-Skype video chat (just like Apple’s FaceTime) for the iPhone 4 and Skype support for iPad before the Skype package is complete.
Skype is available as a free download on the iTunes store. It can be downloaded via this link.
