Skype 1.1 for the iPhone adds SMS messaging, no sign of push notification

Skype 1.1 for the iPhone can now be downloaded from the App Store. While it is nice to see the popular service has been updated, the important part is exactly what was changed. Well, the answer is “not much”, but still, users will now be able to check their Skype voicemail. In addition, sending SMS messages is possible by using Skype credit. Unfortunately, the push notification feature (added by iPhone OS 3.0) has not been implemented, which means you’ll have to keep your app up and running if you’re waiting for someone to answer you. We hope version 1.2 will fix that, and fast!
