Skype 5 9 for iPhone brings smart dialing introduces pre release program

Skype has made a new iOS version available today in the iTunes App Store, which comes with a couple of improvements to the calling features. Skype 5.9 for iPhone also debuts the pre-release program for iOS, through which you can provide feedback and get access to early versions of the app.


It’s sort of like a beta testing thing, and there’s a limited number of preview spots available. You’ll get to give feedback on the newest in-development features, as well as send bug reports to the Skype team.
If that sounds like fun to you, then you need to go here for the full details and a link for registering with the program. Keep in mind that you must be 18 or over, have a valid email address, and a Skype or Microsoft account.
Going back to Skype 5.9 for iPhone, it introduces smart dialing. This means that when you start typing a phone number on the dialpad, Skype will immediately suggest contacts with matching phone numbers, thus making it faster to connect to the people you want to.
The new chat picker has been updated too, with the purpose of making conversations easier to start. When you’ve chosen who you want to talk to, you can tap the phone or video icon at the top to instantly make your call. The chat picker is accessed by tapping on the message icon on the bottom navigation bar when you’re in the recents, favorites, or people view.

Nexus 5 appears on the Google Play Store at 349 First Official Photo as well


The much anticipated Nexus 5 is nearing its launch and has been spotted on the Play Store at $349. The former working link is dead now. The official description from Google goes as this :

"Capture the everyday and the epic in fresh new ways. Starting at $349"




The description suggests at least several storage version. The dead link was pointing at a 16 GB version  and the URL indicates "black", so maybe several colors (black and white at least ?) and hopefully a 32 GB or more Nexus 5.
