What use is a VOIP app that people can call you on, if you have to have it open constantly to work? Not even push notifications would work here.<br><br>*sigh*]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MatthewJ]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 30th 2009 9:03AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Skype App coming to iPhone on Tuesday, Blackberry in May]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/30/skype-app-official-for-iphone-on-tuesday-blackberry-in-may/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/30/skype-app-official-for-iphone-on-tuesday-blackberry-in-may/</guid><description><![CDATA[You always have to open any application to work on it.  The push version would simply notify you when an incoming call was coming in, and open the app accordingly.  Yes, there will be a delay to open the app and connect but I doubt it would be more than the latency on existing cellular calls.<br><br>The real pain comes when trying to replace the existing background app: ipod.  Being able to listen to streaming music is worthless unless you can send an email whilst doing so.  Also, GPS apps take a while to get a lock and this would be another example of where backgrounding is useful.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[pmow]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 30th 2009 9:35AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Skype App coming to iPhone on Tuesday, Blackberry in May]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/30/skype-app-official-for-iphone-on-tuesday-blackberry-in-may/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/30/skype-app-official-for-iphone-on-tuesday-blackberry-in-may/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yeah but I can imagine with multitasking OS, its just like with Windows, where if you're working on Photoshop and someone phones you on Skype, even if the program is minimised and not "open" it would be able to leap to the front and alert you. Its a real shame something like that isn't possible on the iPhone at all. <br><br>I haven't really fully understood *how* push works, but the way I've broadly gathered, I don't think it would be possible to have a VOIP call be received via Push.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MatthewJ]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 30th 2009 9:41AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Skype App coming to iPhone on Tuesday, Blackberry in May]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/30/skype-app-official-for-iphone-on-tuesday-blackberry-in-may/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/30/skype-app-official-for-iphone-on-tuesday-blackberry-in-may/</guid><description><![CDATA[and what about S60?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Douglas]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 30th 2009 10:35AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Skype App coming to iPhone on Tuesday, Blackberry in May]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/30/skype-app-official-for-iphone-on-tuesday-blackberry-in-may/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/03/30/skype-app-official-for-iphone-on-tuesday-blackberry-in-may/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have a Nokia N82, Skype has been available for a while on S60 devices.
