Apple iPad 2 Video Calling with Skype for iPad

(prHWY.com) August 10, 2011 - London, United Kingdom -- The app is available to download from Apple's iTunes App Store. The new Skype for iPad app allows users to make and/or receive free Skype-to-Skype video calls from their iPad devices connected with internet.

"We've heard the demand for Skype video calling on more devices and we are delighted to deliver on this with our new Skype for iPad app," said Neil Stevens, Skype's vice president and general manager for product and marketing.

Skype's first iPad-optimized app boasted a number of key features designed specifically for the iPad.

Earlier this year, Microsoft announced its purchase of VoIP provider Skype for US$8.5 billion.

"Skype for iPad gives Skype users the best of both worlds for video calling: the large screen and display of a personal computer, but the portability of a mobile phone. We've taken advantage of the iPad's large screen and optimised the user experience along with making it easier than ever to navigate through the new intuitive interface," Stevens said.

Moreover, it enables users to place and receive Skype-to-Skype voice calls, as well as send IMs and SMS text messages.

So enjoy video calling but don't forget to buy iPad insurance to secure your iPad. iPad insurance insures your iPad from damages, loss and thefts.
