The expected launch of Skype (beta) for Windows Phone happened in February, after many people asked why Microsoft (current owner of Skype) still had not released a version for its mobile system. This weekend the application is finally out of its beta phase and jumped to the version number 1.0.0.62 bringing various stability improvements and navigation, but with little new.
One detail that has not been fixed by Microsoft but the company will ensure that the future is the fact that the application does not run on low-end smartphones, those who have less than 512 MB of RAM. Another problem is that Skype does not have the ability to run in the background on the system, which makes it less interesting still to go.
On the other hand Microsoft has included in this update the chance to call 1-800 numbers (Toll Free U.S. and Canada) and also gave support connections from premium accounts do not have balance. It seems that the functionality of the application is not very high on the priority list in Redmond. But they are developing the program, that's what matters right?
