Skype has announced the release of an online calling app for iPad tablets, This new app is available for download at Apple’s iTunes store. Now iPad users can make free voice and video to other Skype users over Wi-Fi or 3G wireless connections. The app also allows users to send instant messages and text messages, and to make calls to landlines and mobile phones for a small fee.
“Skype for iPad is beautifully designed and optimized for the iPad. It offers the best of both worlds for users who want a larger Skype experience, on-the-go. The large iPad screen is perfect for bringing Skype video calls to life, in either landscape or portrait view, and because it is on the iPad, Skype video calls can be made at the beach, in a car or even lying on a couch,” Skype said in blog.
The new Skype for iPad app also takes full advantage of the iPad 2’s dual cameras, allowing users to talk face-to-face with the iPad’s front camera or switch to the rear camera to show what they can see.
These are the main features of the app
- Two-way video calling.
- Instant messaging.
- Simple to view contacts.
