Skype received a UI enhancing update today, almost making it look like it had a little more Microsoft influence (you know, MS does own Skype now). The updated app’s 4.6 revision includes the new calling interface and other improvements to help make your mobile chatting more efficient, among the usual bug fixes: What’s New in Version 4.6 ✓…
Two pretty major updates today to two popular applications. Both Dropbox and Skype have been refreshed with some interesting new features. Firstly, Dropbox for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch has been given a new lease of life with the ability to enable push notifications for shared folders. Essentially, you’ll get a pop-up message telling you when the…
Have you ever been using Skype and had a dropped call? I know I have and it is a very frustrating experience, especially since until now (on iOS devices) you had to attempt to re-call the person you were on the Skype call with. If any of you are like me, you will be much happier with this news: Skype updated their iOS apps today, and in the update is…
If you use Facebook’s dedicated Messenger application on your iOS device, you should know that the social networking giant has released an update with a few very interesting new features.

Although it seems a little baffling that it wasn’t there before, the newest update to the Skype app for iPhone and iPad now gives you – the user – the ability to share photos in a chat. The latest version (4.1) will let you snap a photo, or share one from your camera roll. It also features some other, smaller updates: Send and receive photos Updated…
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but there’s probably very good reason why Apple lost out in the Proview “iPad” lawsuit, in China, to a Chinese company. Let’s face it, if a company can sell an iMac rip-off, then sell the naming rights to Apple via a third party, and still force Cupertino to settle for $60 million a few years later, something’s going…
For me, there’s always been a love/hate relationship with Skype for iOS. For a long time video calls were not available, even after the iPhone 4 launch. It also took considerable time to enable its use over 3G and not keeping it restricted to WiFi only. Both are features which now exist on the current version of the app. Let’s say you wanted to chat to…
For a brief moment earlier today, the long awaited official Skype app for iPad was live in the App Store. Then, it was promptly removed. Ever since the iPad 2 launched with a front facing camera there’s been speculation about an official launch for the popular video calling software.
