Skype 3.0 finally allows video calls between users of iPhone and desktop

In the early hours of the night, Apple has released the latest version of Skype for the iPhone in the App Store. For some time rumors about the date, video calls between users of the iPhone is compatible. In addition, iPhone users can now video chat with users of Skype for desktop computers.
Yes, the news is a great ... mostly anyway. Obviously, there are details of the operating system version and hardware that changes the equation a little. We have compiled a short list of things you should know before you get too excited.Skype v3.0 Features
Video calls are compatible with 3G and Wi-Fi. Of course, the company said that additional data charges may apply, which means "count against your monthly fee" if you are in a less unlimited.
IPhone users can call and video chat not only with other iPhone users, but also users of the version of Mac OS X software company and Windows OS.
Both themes are compatible with video calls on the iPhone and Touch iPod fourth generation. Technically, they are also compatible with the iPhone 3G, but obviously I have to use the camera back, which means you can not see the other side. They can see you.
iPads Apple iPod (3 rd generation) users can receive incoming video stream Skype calls, but obviously not to send anything overseas, all because of the lack of a camera problem.
Both modes are portrait and landscape compatible with the new version.
Minimum Requirements
First, you need iOS 4.0 or higher, regardless of the Apple gadget that tries to use Skype. As mentioned above, there are obvious problems with the devices that have no front or cameras, for that matter, any camera at all. For devices like the 2 nd and 3 rd generation iPod Touch, users need a compatible headset with a microphone to be even able to make calls through Skype for the iPhone.
What's the verdict? Well? Bad? Indifferent?
Well, try it immediately. For the first test, we used a four on the iPhone 3G and iPhone 4-in Wi-Fi connection was very good voice, but the video quality tend to go up and down every twenty seconds. For the second test, using two 4 in the iPhone 3G. The quality was almost the same as in the first test. For the third test, we went to the iPhone's 4 to a Skype user desktop in Mac OS X. For the fourth test, we went from a 4 to an iPhone user on the Windows desktop. In both trials, the third and fourth, there was a delay in the video, but the voice quality remained relatively stable. For fun, we tried an iPhone from Galaxy 4 and Tab. As expected, no updated version of Android is not compatible with all video calls. That is, the user tab Galaxy could not see anything.
As a final test, we connect through FaceTime of a jailbroken iPhone 3G to 4 of 4 of an iPhone over Wi-Fi video quality and consistency of the connection was much better together. This means that if you're an iPhone user who uses a Mac at home and cats only Mac users, FaceTime still reigns in terms of quality. To this end, if you're an iPhone user that likes to video chat with users of Android, the application of Tango is the best option available that supports the 3G connection.
There is no place for complaints, however, with the new version of Skype. It enables video calls between operating systems in common use and divide the smartphone and desktop division. Hopefully future versions will carry the Android and BlackBerry users in the mix. Then everyone can happily video chat.
Download version 3.0 for the iPhone on Apple iTunes Store Skype.
