Here’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.
