3G Lags on Skype iPhone OS 4.0

Posted on April 9, 2010 by Benny Hollywood

Apple recently announced that the iPhone will be able to support multitasking for third party apps soon. Which means Skype can now be used in full speed. But one complaint as tested for the iPhone OS 4 leapt out at us immediately: Skype’s app could now run in the background, waiting for incoming calls while you do other things, but 3G is still lagging on the features. Without being able to run in the background Skype’s is largely limited to outgoing calls, unless you make an appointment on some other medium to arrange a Skype call (or just run it all the time). At present Skype is a convenient extra on the iPhone, and a significant tool for making calls — especially during those hours when you’d otherwise be using the minutes on your calling plan — but not something one could ever rely on for day-to-day communication. That could change dramatically this summer, when OS 4 is available to the public. Maybe even better: The same OS powers the iPod Touch, which has no phone but could become a Skype phone by default. It will also be available for the phoneless iPad in the autumn. Ultimately though, without being able to use AT&T’s 3G connection, which AT&T told the FCC and Apple was fine six months ago, Skype calls are still limited to Wi-Fi. And that’s a big limitation. On Tuesday, Skype released a new version of its iPhone app that many suspected would add 3G calling because AT&T approved the idea six months ago and Skype said in February that 3G calling would be added “real soon now”. So I guess we’ll just have to wait. At least we can still watch the UFC 112 live stream clearly on the iPhone. 3G Lags on Skype iPhone OS 4.0 is a post from: Daily World Buzz Continue reading →
