When it comes to keeping in touch with people, Skype is by far the number one choice. By keeping the Skype iPad app up to date, Skype really is taking a step in the right direction. The latest version of this app requires iOS 4 and up although the release notes do recommend running the latest iOS 5+ for the best Skype experience. The new Skype release update really does appear to be just a cosmetic update and aside from the retina tweaks that have been incorporated there really doesn�t seem to be any other changes.
The changes do however make users wish that the 3rd generation iPad has a front facing HD camera instead of the VGA one that is comes with. The new Skype app has been downloaded by millions since its release. Skype which is a free communications app is used by millions of people worldwide as a means of keeping in touch. There is free instant messaging and of course with the video feature you can actually see the person you are talking to. Skype to Skype calls are free around the world and users can get cheap voice calls too if required. Skype has been around for quite a number of years now and if they keep updating their apps to coincide with new software releases they are sure to be around and the number one choice for quite a number of years to come. There really is no other contender to compete against Skype and if you have purchased a new iPad then be sure to download the newly updated Skype for iPad app to see how the latest retina display tweaks have been incorporated.
