Skype 2.8.0
The most famous application of calls and video calls via Internetcontinues to make people talk. If we were recently aware of the publication of the first official version for Windows Phone, now Skype updates your mobile application Android With this, your version increases to number 2.8.0, collecting improvements not too important, but that accommodate the application to a greater number of smartphonesHowever, this update also has a negative point which is given by the rconstraints of Earlier versions of the operating system from Google
On the positive side, we find that this version 2.8.0 of Skype now has a faster startup, reducing the time it previously took to get to the home screen. Something that all users will appreciate, especially those who have a slow Internet connection In addition, there is a notable change in the instant messaging system This is the redesign of the conversations page If before it looked like a conversation with speech bubbles in the purest styleWhatsApp, in this version it has become something more formal Thus, the messages appear one below another occupying the entire width of the screen, but maintaining the style and design of the rest of the application.All this without neglecting the possibility of using emoticons or transforming free instant messages into SMS text messagesto send.
In addition, the list of terminals that can now make a video call in horizontal or landscape position has been increased Although since official Skype blog do not specify what these phones are, they do state that this improvement applies to most of those that are currently on the market Along with this performance improvement, notifications have also been introduced so that the user knows first hand, and from the application itself, that there are new versions of Skype available to be installed.
But we can't forget about the negative part of this update.It seems that due to restrictions of version 2.2 of the operating system Android, better known asFroyo, phones running on this version can only use the rear camera Something that can be counterproductive for a video call, since it is impossible to see the other party. But don't worry, phones with operating system Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) orrear can choose to use the rear or front camera to make video calls.
In short, a minor update with lights and shadows that adapts the most widespread application of video calls to a greater number of terminals, with some other changes and improvements, but that cuts its use for terminals with Android 2.2, preventing them from using the front camera. In any case, version 2.8 of Skype for mobile with Android is now available for your download. As always, you can get completely free from the app market Google Play
