Skype for iPhone, iPad Add Photo Sharing, Better Battery Life

Skype's The Big Blog announced a new version 4.1 of their iPhone/iPod touch and iPad apps today, allowing users to share photos with loved ones while also tweaking performance so the apps no longer sip so much battery life while sitting idle in the background. "The new Photo Share feature will let you send photos you've shot on your iPad or iPhone directly to friends or family members via Skype," the blog notes. "There's no limit on the size of the file you can send, so you can send photos without reaching email size limits or paying expensive MMS charges." Version 4.1 also "improves the app start and the contact list loads even faster," so jump over the to App Store and grab the update to take advantage of the changes.

Best Buy Stumbles in Q2, Profit Drops 91 Percent

Bloomberg is reporting that Best Buy's second-quarter financials show an astounding 91 percent drop in net income to only $12 million compared to the same quarter last year when the company raked in $128 million profit. Best Buy is feeling the pain as consumers buy fewer HDTVs and notebook computers amid accusations that shoppers are simply using their stores as showrooms for buying through e-tailers such as Amazon.com. Best Buy announced a new CEO this week and plans to suspend forecasting its profits for the remainder of the year as a result.

Path 2.5 Introduces Larger Photos, More Sharing Options

With its privacy gaffe earlier this year squarely behind them, the folks at Path are forging ahead with new features to make sharing with loved ones better than ever. Bigger photos, movie and book sharing and more are all on deck in Path 2.5.

Path has released version 2.5 for both iOS and Android, and despite some recent service slowdowns due to explosive growth for the app, the focus with this version is all about speed and enhancements to existing features.

Path 2.5 finally allows users to snap photos using the iPhone's volume button, just like the built-in Camera app. Likewise, a single tap on the photo screen will kick off a video recording. Your photos will look better than ever thanks to the update taking full advantage of the screen real estate of your device, and new filters round out the photographic goodies in this version.

But it doesn't stop there: In addition to sharing music, Path users can now tag movies or books from the same place, so your friends can be envious when you're watching the latest hot movie or reading a new best-seller.

Path has also introduced a Nudge feature -- similar to Facebook's Poke, Nudge is aimed at encouraging your friends and family to post more frequently or even suggest others to connect with.

"And invitations on Path are even more personal," the service notes on its blog. "You can record and send a voice message: 'Join Path, mama!' 'Start sharing with me cuz’!' You get the idea. We’ll let you put your own spin on it."

Finally, Path 2.5 makes it easier than ever to get started for new users. As always, the free app is available for iOS in the App Store and also Google Play for Android lovers.
