Skype PocketPC 2.1 Beta Released

John Biggs

ppc21beta_panel.jpgHere’s some serious W00Tness. Skype has launched its 2.1 Beta for PocketPC which includes:

  • One click Skype access: A Skype icon on the device home screen allows users to view and call contacts easily.
  • Multi-person chat: Users can have multi-person chat sessions using animated emoticons with colleagues, friends and family and when mobile users are offline, chat messages will automatically update the next time user logs in.
  • Enhanced contact list: Users can now see their contacts avatars and mood messages.
  • Profile personalization: Users have the ability to take a picture with the camera on their mobile device and immediately update their profile.

    • Nothing earth-shattering, but you’ve got a bit of UI tweaking and some definite improvements on the contact list.
