Skype for iPhone and iPod Touch Gets Video Chat
Just recently, Skype released version 3.0 of the Skype App for iOS onto the App Store that features the long awaited Video Chat feature. But it doesn’t stop there, Skype takes it a little bit further. The video chat feature in version 3.0 can also be used over your 3G signal if you have an iPhone. If you happen to have a iPod Touch 4G, you can use Skype for video chat via Wi-Fi if you so desire.
- Make Skype to Skype video calls on WiFi and 3G*
- Call Skype desktop users (Mac OS X or Windows) and other iPhone users.
- Two-way video calls supported on iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 4th gen.
- Receive only video supported on iPad and iPod touch 3rd gen, with no camera.
- Make video calls in portrait and landscape.
- Skype video calling requires iOS 4.0 or above.
According to 9to5Mac, 1 minute of video chat will use 3.4MB of data usage, so if your data plan has a limit on how much data can be used, beware because Skype will eat it up fast if you use it alot. Skype is a free download on the App Store.
