The Metro version of Skype is almost ready and we’re still stuck with the desktop version. Apparently, it is part of the RTM Windows Store that you may have to wait until October 26 to get this. What’s better than the desktop version is that, even if the Skype app is closed, you still can receive voice and video calls as well as the chat messages similar to other apps on the smartphones and tablets. Even better is that you can snap the Skype app and easily tell whatever you’re doing through the voice call, video call and even instant messages. However, the way you’re going to show off the proof is still inaccurate as if even having two webcams simultaneously won’t even help.
In addition, the Skype also brings the contacts from the People App for easier importing. By logging in to the Skype App with your Microsoft account, all your Skype contacts will show up in the People App. The People App can also show you what’s going on from your friends on the respective social networking sites. You can also reach them who aren’t on Skype yet through phone calls if you have a phone number stored in their contact information and a little Skype credit or a subscription.
