Update of Skype 2.1.1 for iPhone

Recently the Skype company has released the new program version 2.1.1 for iPhone. The program can be downloaded through iTunes App Store right now.

In the new Skype version you can turn off the notification about new instant messages, the virtual keyboard work better, the sound doesn't dissapear when switching to other iPhone applications and in the status "Do not disturb" no notifications appear, while Skype keeps working in the background mode. 

The multitasking can be enjoyed only by users of iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch of the 3-rd generation, that are working on the base of iOS 4.

For iPhone 3G and iPhone 2G it's better to use Skype for iOS 3.1.x.

The main improvements: the sound of the tone dialing has been improved as well as there appeared a possibility to turn off the notifications about instant messages. 

Several errors, indicated by users, have been fixed as well. Now Skype is not switched off when you are choosing Groups in the menu "Online Contacts" and works stably with incoming calls (before there had been several problems with accepting calls per iPhone in iOS 3.x).  By the way, now Skype is working well with pictures of any density and shows no notifications in the status "Do not disturb". 

Although, even the current version is still far from being perfect. It was indicated, that Skype sometimes doesn't save the sent messages if the user has too many contacts. The specialists are working on this problem and recommend the users not to hurry with sending messages right after switching the program on, for it to be able to synchronize all contacts and chats. Also sometimes the sound of the voice mail disappears, if the incoming call comes over it. And also, several problems appear while reading the chat window in the horizontal mode or while dialing over the virtual keyboard. The specialists of Skype are working on these problems and promise to fix all the failures in the nearest time.
