Skype updates again, still no VoIP over 3G
There was a minor Skype update last night to version 1.3.1 to add support for iPhone 3.2/iPad but the most noticeable thing was what remained missing: Skype VoIP over 3G.
We’re happy to get bug-fixes, we’re glad about compatibility updates, but when AT&T gave the green light for VoIP over 3G back on Oct. 6, 2009 (and Skype applauding them for it), Apple allowing it in the iPhone 3.2 SDK agreement, apps like Fring, iCall, and Truphone updating almost immediately to VoIP over 3G at the end of January, and Skype promising we’d see it soon on Feb. 4, we have to wonder (and ask on Twitter) — what’s going on?
Some believe their recent dealings with Verizon have put Skype over 3G for iPhone on the back-burner, or have derailed it completely. If that’s the case, however, given Skype’s previous statements an update telling us so is certainly in order. If not, those millions of Skype for iPhone app downloaders would still like an update, thank you very much.
The stage is all yours Skype, can we get another update on that VoIP over 3G update?
