I've been scratching my head as to why Skype has really dropped the ball on their iOS client. The released Skype for iPhone. The most recent significant change they made was to allow it being used as a background app (one which kills your battery within hours).
Aside from that, they act like they didn't even know the iPad came out. Doing even the most basic "port" of Skype to the iPad couldn't take more than a day of developer time if they had the original Xcode project for the iPhone app.
As-is, Skype for iOS is really clunky and does some pretty stupid stuff (like taking 45 minutes as it tries to download every conversation I've had for the past 3 years and nearly crashing the phone). I can't fathom why Skype is ignoring it. Unless someone did something stupid, like loose the code/project.
- ecubed 15y agoI agree, I was pretty disappointed when i bought my iPad and found out there was not a specific iPad version of Skype. For a while I was sure that someone was going to come out with a data only phone that used Skype for voice, but i guess that was just wishful thinking...
