Skype for iPhone will run in the background with iPhone OS 4

Skype’s David Ponsford has just left the stage at Apple’s developer event, where he demoed a version of Skype for iPhone running in the background.

What does this mean? Previously, when you navigated away from Skype, it would quit and you’d be offline – unable to receive chats or calls. With iPhone OS 4, when you leave the Skype app, it’ll still be there in the background.

Whether you switch to another app or just put the phone in your pocket,Skype will be able to receive calls. When a call comes in, you’ll see a notification on the screen, and you’ll be able to pick it up with a single tap.

With iPhone OS 4, we hope Skype will become a whole lot more convenient for all of you who use it. iPhone OS 4 will be coming to your phone this summer, so stay tuned for more details nearer the time
