Skype for iPad updated for Apple's Retina Display

The free Skype 3.8 update includes optimised graphics for the new iPad's Retina Display, but the new iPad's front-facing camera keeps video at VGA quality

Skype has rolled out a Retina Display-friendly update that supports the hi-res graphics of Apple's new iPad.

The free 3.8 update includes optimised graphics for the new iPad's Retina Display – though it's worth noting Skype on the new iPad 3is still limited. Icons and menus will be pixel perfect without a shred of pixellation in sight, but the front-facing camera, which has remained unchanged since the iPad 2, means video quality maxes out at VGA quality, as opposed to 720p. In fact, the video quality supported still hasn't managed to reach the quality offered by some laptops such as the MacBook Pro.
