The multitasking capabilities coming with the iOS4 are doing good for the apps, Skype for one is taking advantage of this with updating its application for the iPhone. Users will now be able to make and receive calls, running their application in the background. However the multitasking feature is available for the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 3GS, sorry for those with the older iPhone 3G and the ancient iPhone 2G.
The multitasking has been a big relief to the users in general, think of it, you having to keep an application open in order to make use of its functions, sounds like a huge disgrace to the power the iPhone has. Thank Apple for giving this a serious thought and made it possible, you can now attend calls on Skype and there is more!
Do you recall Skype talking about charging for all calls on Skype? Even if they were within the Skype to Skype network, over 3G? Well they have given that up and users will only be charged for Skype to non-Skype calls. Another big relief and something that would see a large number of users flooding in to use Skype more on the iPhone. At least something good to hear and talk about after I called Apple the biggest whiner of 2010 over the iPhone 4 Antenna issues.
Download the Application here.
This is another great feature for skype but what I am concerned is battery life. I think with skype running on the background the battery will runs out of power quickly.

hmm.. you are right, with all those background apps running free, the battery life is defnitely going to be a challenge. Interesting point though, thanks for mentioning it
