Last May, Skype upgraded their iPhone app to allow users to make calls over 3G data connections. Today they have just announced a brand new version of the app that delivers high quality sound and support for multi-tasking. Now you can receive Skype calls while other apps are running, even when your phone is locked. Keep the conversations running while you switch to other tasks, for instance checking a train timetable or reading a message.
The app’s graphics have also been updated to make the most of the iPhone 4’s Retina display.
Like the sound of that? Then download the app HERE.
Skype helps you make more calls, for less. Suddenly, those iPhone 4 contracts don’t seem so expensive.
Just as in the US, pre-orders for iPhone 4 in the UK have been arriving a day early, making for some very happy Apple fans.
According to a thread on the MacRumours forum, a user called “Mattwood” claims he has received his handset today. Accompanied by the below photo, we’d be inclined to believe the story.
Sceptical forum users have been asking more questions, but he did post a picture of the back of the phone in front of today’s BBC News website in its ad-free UK form, lending more credence to Mattwood’s claim.
If the story’s true, some of those who pre-ordered the phone could get a lovely surprise sometime this afternoon in the form of a brand new iphone 4 16GB or iphone 4 32GB!
