It’s here! Run Skype in the background with multitasking in iOS4 with fast switching. Receive Skype calls and IM while other apps are running or even when your iPhone is locked. You can also continue your call while you switch to another application. Huge.
What’s more Skype has released a statement saying it no longer plan to charge (now or in the future) for calls on 3G. Lets hope it sticks to its word.
Multitasking is available only with iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS.

Finally!!!
I was just searching for news updates about the “comming soon” skype update, and I see this news just written!
I switch to the apstore and yes here it is!!
it was such a shame to not have multitasking on the iPhone all this time.. but finally,the much waited and impressive
I paid for a unlimited subscription that includes Landlines and Mobile. Several hours later I decided to reach out and connect with some (7) friends through my skype window. Every time I tried the call feature, I received a message that I need skype credits to make the call. Why do I have a subscription?
I have a high tolerance for technology and maybe I was doing something wrong. But what really fried my ass was the poor customer support, the lack of respect for my time and the inadequate reliance on existing users to help people that just gave them money. I must have spent about 1 and1/2 hours looking for an email or instant message interface so that I could find some avenue for help or hope. Instead Skype relies on a FQ list and a blog that contains user-generated content.
If we can rely on companies that make a living online to respect and value the online consumer, how can we ever expect brick and mortar business to step to the plate?
I beleve The right-side pic is holding it right.
well, glad to hear that skype for 3G is free.
“Well, it’s about time. Touted back in March as one of the pillar apps to benefit from the new multitasking API, Skype has finally been updated to iOS 4 compatibility.” and good update!
