Skype update 2.0.1 for iPhone: multitasking support and free of charge communication via 3G

In May the Skype company has updated its software for iPhone, that enabled users to communicate via 3G network. On July. 21 the company has presented the new version of its program. It lets you make calls with a high-quality sound and supports multitasking. It means that now you can receive calls via Skype while other applications are started or even if your iPhone is blocked. During the call you can go on communicating with your conversation partner and at the same time switch to another task, like watching a film or checking your e-mails. Also the developers of Skype have renewed the graphics of the application, so now the Retina Display is supported, that has appeared in iPhone 4. 

You can dowload the new version of the program for free in iTunes App Store and already today you can enjoy the communication via Skype of even higher quality. 

People in the Skype company are sure that the high quality of the connection and the comfortability (that are reached due to the multitasking and the possibility to talk via 3G network) will lead to the increasing number of calls and will make Skype conversations longer. The mobile world is going through significant changes at the moment. For example, many mobile operators are heading towards multilevel pricing. 

In view of the last fact the Skype company has decided not to charge talks via 3G network. The Skype company is happy to make the communication of its customers easier and longer. 

Multitasking is supported only in iOS 4, iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS, as well as in the third generation of iPod Touch (models of 2009 with 32 and 64 Gb).
