Using Skype on the iPad has been possible since this application appeared on the App Store. However, for this, it was necessary to use the version developed specifically for iPhone. And that, as you already know, entails a series of problems; the most striking, the screen format designed for a much smaller canvas and in a single arrangement of the elements: vertical.
However, and although it has been allowed to beg, this is likely to change . Without being confirmed for now the launch date of the application, it has already been known for sure that the company recently acquired by Microsoft will launch a dedicated version for iPad. First, this novelty could be known from a video leaked through YouTube. And shortly after, from Skype itself they confirmed that the application exists. However, as we say, they have spared the courtesy of confirming one day for Skype for iPad to be downloadable now.
As an instant messaging and voice over IP client, Skype for iPad will provide the opportunity for its users to use this application with almost all the features and features that are already known from the desktop version. Although some options will be missing. For starters, yes, you can make video calls with Skype for iPad. And what is more important: the function will be compatible both in Wi-Fi connections and in the case of doing it over 3G.
On the other hand, video calls can be made in full screen, taking advantage of all the resolution of the iPad 2. It will also be possible to make video calls with a single video signal, which will be very interesting for users of the first generation of the iPad, which is not equipped with cameras. Unfortunately, Skype for iPad offer no support for sending files through the application, as does allow the version for PC.
