Skype for Android is a story for itself! First version was a beta, after some time then finally a full version, which still disappeared from the market. Now Skype is but since some time available and that is why a test worth – let’s see as full version in any case, if the app has improved since the beta version! Beta testing to the Skype Lite can be found here.
In the description of the Skype app, you will find the rather strange note “only compatible phones“. That sounds to me somehow to “Skype works only on devices running Skype works”. At least adds it to the addition, it only works on the Samsung Galaxy S from Android 2.2. A look at the Skype website reveals more details:
To install at least 27 MB. free space on your mobile phone required, which should have a minimum processor performance of 600 MHz Are the supported screen resolutions: 320 x 240, 240 x 400, 320 x 480, 800 x 480 and 850 x 480.
Actually uses Skype about 12 MB of memory, but move to the SD card. At least something – but it would be nice if the compatible devices were listed at least on the Skype website. But when the mass of Android, it is probably difficult to list all compatible devices. Thus, only the view in the market remains whether to find Skype and can install. I would like to purchase from Kagi, a reference to the screen resolutions supported according to Skype still give: on the Galaxy tab, which has a resolution of 1024 × 600 and thus not actually is supported, Skype is running perfectly and easily – so much to.
What expects you from an app like Skype? I would say: VoIP over 3 g and WLAN, a chat feature and possibly video telephony. The latter does Skype unfortunately! While video calling will be integrated in the near future, but in the trial that is currently in circulation and offers video telephony, serious safety deficiencies have been identified and to the introduction of video telephony in the official Skype app probably should delay.In addition, Skype has a clear disadvantage compared to programs such as Nimbuzz and fring: while this so-called “multi Messenger” with several programs (such as Windows Live Messenger (MSN), Yahoo!) play, Skype offers only communication via Skype. But despite the multi Messenger, the official Skype app is a must for any Skype user, because Skype will not disclose its interfaces Nimbuzz, Fring and co. can deliver no Skype integration.
But now to the app itself! New users can create a new account on the app, users with an existing Skype account need to enter their logon information only and are ready to go. Both works smoothly, some in a few seconds, you are logged in. After the first start, you are asked whether you want to match the contacts of Android phone with Skype – Skype contacts are of course automatically loaded in the app and also their profile pictures are displayed. Click on a contact opens a screen which clearly displays information and options for the selected contact. In addition to information about the contact (Skype name, language, birthday, etc.), you can view missed calls and messages, or add the contact with the favourites. Two large buttons are located on the bottom of the screen to call the contact or to start a text chat.
In addition to the “Contacts” tab, there are still “calls”, “Profile” and “Events”. The latter shows the current Skype Credit (which is used for calls to fixed line numbers or normal mobile numbers) and new events, such as chat messages or missed calls. about “Call”, you can choose the just mentioned fixed-line and mobile numbers of a number field or choose from the phone book. That you can choose a country and its area code is – selected is very practical, so thing to remember is not country codes.Under “Profile”, you can view the details of the own profile and change. Including this post a status message (the place (rather: the city, because exact location info such as address are not delivered), where it is currently is automatically detected and with gepostet), changing the agrees (simply click on the current profile picture and choose another from the gallery), the change of status (from “online” to “busy”) and the purchase of Skype credit as well as changing the profile details such as name, place of residence, telephone number and email.
I have been looking for some time before I figured out how you can stop Skype! Because if you leave the app, it continues in the background (visible on the Skype logo in the status bar) to receive calls and text messages. This is also good, but would like to you can log out! Oddly enough, this works only if one is in the “Profile” tab. The menu button of the Android man then press unit, appears the option “Log out”. Other options are:
So much for the functions of Skype! But how well does voice and chat? To brief me: very good. Both WLAN and 3 g (a similarly good reception provided – although for voice telephony is also a somewhat slower network) voice quality was very good and little difference to the normal telephony to remember. The voice worked well from the nexus of S on the Galaxy tab and two devices on the PC, also the latency was very low, if even noticeable (about half a second). The calls were always correctly even if ran the Skype app in the background, more smoothly it can not go. The text chat was as easily, the messages are displayed in speech bubbles which makes very clear the conversation.
Bottom line: Skype for Android is (still) no video telephony, for voice and text chat are well implemented. Also the other functions of the app can be lacking nothing – no matter if you view the profile of his contacts, that profile will change or credit. In addition to the missing video telephony (which can be but to survive), there are only a point that stands out a little bit negative: I would always show the option “Unsubscribe” If you press the menu button in the app, and not only in the “Profile” tab. Otherwise, Skype succeeded all around!
Note: The app requires many permissions. The features of Skype require but each of these permissions, so no permission is required to.

Not tacos, but Taskos to do list task list
Apr 28th
Individual:
Welcome to our section “yet antoher task list”. So one could call here that now the whole. Why that is so? The competition task lists and task managers is growing. But competition stimulates business know and so to play wellTaskos to do list | Task listin the thicket of tasks apps and trying to make the task management as easy as possible to users.
Categorize, prioritize and remember like the pros
With tacos, Taskos has so pure nothing to the hat. However the name on the first look at the delicious Mexican court reminds that maybe anyone ever a Crimson head with its sharpness brings has.
Taskos offers you the possibility to assign categories to your tasks. These you can in any number, even creating and thus make your planning want. Task you can just as easily assigned a reminder for Deineine. Still a Pro feature of the Android app is in the creation of a call date. Call the task of “Call” and give the name of the recipient are a, and Taskos will display a call button next to dre task, where you immediately will take in the phone app.
“What do you think straight?” – “A cucumber, five tomatoes, detergents and the children you must also still abholen…”
The Google voice search is revolutionizing every app. Taskos also offers typing tasks by means of voice search. You just tap the icon and cast, what appears in the task list. The voice you can then complement, or can start the procedure again. The tasks created in this way end up directly in the General category. For a short recording of thoughts is the a good way, want you specify but continue the task, for example, on the basis of the priority, the input by hand is necessary.
Synchronized swimming – Google tasks and Taskos
Taskos tries to be on an equal footing with Google tasks, but Taskos of this requirement is not quite meet. Problem for Taskos here is the previous Eingeliderung in lists in Google tasks. Although, the tasks are imported from the Google service, however, only the default list comes with on your Android. All other lists in addition to Google tasks bitterly drown and unfortunately end up not in Taskos.
Security – is safe sicher…
Google provides a way of authentication called OAuth and AuthSub for his services for a long time. The token controlled Authorisierungsmöglichkeiten for access to the Google services are, without having to disclose the own Google credentials in third party apps. Taskos uses is unfortunately not this way and offers only the entry of the own data in a mask in the app itself. This is security-critical only in extreme cases, but one of the two mentioned ways would improve security-conscious people may sleep.
Welcome to the Widgetmania
Taskos brings two good widgets, and you easy operation you immensely. The small 1 × 4 Widget displays your tasks for you and gives you the possible in a fast way to enter new tasks, and that by speech. The large 4 x 4 widget fills your entire homescreen and accordingly offers you a lot of possibilities. Again, can you add quickly and easily a new task, but your entire tasks will get displayed.
Conclusion and alternatives there here!
And of which there are many – actually really many, and many that are really good. Of course the personal taste and the way is crucial, as you would like to make your task scheduler. The list ranges from EverNote on GTasks to Astrid. Many of these apps can almost everything that can Taskos and some even a little more. If you can give “More” to the certain and ease of use is more desirable to you, Taskos is the right choice for you.

iOS 4.3.2 causes some problems for the charging of iPhone 4
Apr 28th
4.3.2 To hear was after the release of iOS, in particular some bug fixes in the comparison were made to iOS 4.3.1 so iOS 4.3.2 even faster and more stable to run than the previous version. However, it seems the one or the other problem to give 4.3.1 not known even in iOS. So is spoken, for example, in a US Forum on the topic of Apple in that there are one or the other user who has problems with charging his iPhone 4, but only 4.3.2 occur since the upgrade to iOS.
Where the error iPhone 4 comes with the Apple not loading, which is not yet known, in any case, it seems to be a problem with the software. Because the charger was reviewed according to a person, and exchanged, so that the error comes not from the hardware. As the problem on the part of iOS 4.3.2 could come, to do this there are still no details at the moment, is likely that only individual cases of this phenomenon are known, and not many users at once submit complaints be problematic especially. Thus, it will probably take a bit until a solution is released.

Lousy reviews RTL reacts with redesigned Weather app
Apr 27th
Looking for a dedicated weather application – personally we feel sufficiently served with Apple’s pre-installed solution – it contain many AppStore visitors obviously known suppliers. So, the weather daughter of the TV channel RTL, “Wetter.de” (AppStore Link), for example, been going on for more than 8000 reviews can enjoy conceded but only little praise.
Although RTL free offers its forecast service, have opted for the worst AppStore rating well 5000 users and are descended in the comments about the meteorological services like a pack of wolves on a sleeping lamb.
With the today released version 2.0 of 1 MB of large downloads, now promises RTL seriously to have taken the criticism and who is “The extension of information offer, the expansion of weather videos and the greatly improved user guidance”. The application is still free, comes with a completely new design and should start up much faster than its predecessor.
Who is looking for alternatives to the iPhone’s own weather application should that here a closer look honor presented weather HD app (AppStore link), Google’s range of weather and the news application in the video.

Numbers, numbers, numbers. Outside of courtrooms Apple and Google (Android) fight over the figures of the market share of its operating systems against each other. Depending, it is believed more whom times has Android and times Apple nose front.

April addendum of Google’s oblique iPhone search
Apr 26th
Who entered the keyword “Helvetica” in the Google search on 1 April, was able to enjoy the display of search results in the controversial Microsoft font “Comic Sans”. For Gmail users, Google had the not quite so serious “Gmail motion” video in the offer – and also on an April joke for iPhone users was thought.
The latter continued until yesterday but rather covered, was only now found by thenextweb.com, and seems still to work: it feeds the mobile Google search page with the words “Askew”, “Tilt”, “Slanted” or “Crooked” the iPhone search diagonal warps to the right. The effect of this link can be found on the desktop computer.
