Skype for Windows Phone 7 app drops Beta Tag
All of the public testing is over and Microsoft has finally released Skype for Windows Phone 7. The Skype app can now be found in the marketplace.
The beta had some bugs that were fixed with the final version. Currently the only setback is that the program cannot run in the background.
It was thought earlier that the Nokia 610 would not work because of memory compatibility but Nokia tells us that the app can run on their entry level phones.
As if we needed another chat/social app to occupy our time. Time to Skype away!
