Skype slowly moves to upgrade VoIP app for iOS4.

Skype is developing a multi-tasking happy iOS 4 compatible version of its eponymously-named VoIP app for the iPhone. The company promises the new version will exploit all the new features of the new iOS 4, but says it won’t introduce the app until it is confident the app will meet expectations.

“With every update to the iPhone OS (now called iOS), Apple introduces a number of changes to the software. In order to make sure we give you the best experience possible, we need to carry out some additional tests with the final version of iOS 4.

“When we’re confident that the app will live up to your high expectations, we’ll make it available for download. Stay tuned!”

Critics note that Skype was included within Apple’s iOS 4 demo way back in March — as you see in the clip above. Some are already accusing the VoIP giant of taking its eye off the ball in its development of a new version Skype app for iOS4. Why?

Commenting on the Skype website, ‘jozsefhor’ said, “Last time Skype said “soon,” it was when they talked about the 3G version of the Skype iPhone app, which came out three months after the “soon” press release. So I’m not banking on getting the iOS-aware Skype app before late August. Question is, which year.”
