Skype 1.0 has just gone live in the Marketplace, bringing the ability to now search for and add new contacts, call to landlines, some optimizations and other minor improvements, the app is a fairly solid performer allowing video and VOIP calls over 3g/4g and WiFi connections.

Users will still be disappointed with no background functionality, making the service still a bit of a novelty for most people. Not being able to receive calls in the background is a bit of a deal killer, especially when rival service Tango Video Call is out on the market allowing this functionality.

This is perhaps the first app I've seen that doesn't use the default widgets with the default style. Actually looks decent.

I think most WP apps are like this, they use the metro style.

Skype 1.0 will run on devices with at least 512MB of memory. So no support for low-end "Tango" devices!

Looks moderate memory-hungry obviously.

So it sounds not good to Skype while browsing some mobile websites.
