Tom Keating http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/tom-keating/ Rich has the goods on the new Skype for iPhone app, which finally adds multitasking support to the iPhone iOS 4 operating system. Of course, there still isn't any video support. Get on that, will ya Skype?

I'd use fring to make video calls over Skype, but we know what happened there.

Interestingly, Skype dropped plans to charge a supplement to make calls over 3G, which I had griped about ("That's a dumb move if you ask me. A jailbroken iPhone can make Skype calls over 3G with no fees through the use of an app called 3G Unrestrictor"). I hoped they'd change their minds and indeed they have. Well done Skype!
