A promo video for Skype for the iPad 2 popped up on YouTube this morning, but was hastily taken down once the mistake was realised. Now of course users can use the iPhone Skype app on their iPads at the moment, but wouldn't an optimised version be better? Of course it would! Expected features for the iPad version include camera swapping functionality during chats; messaging that layers on top of video and WiFi and 3G support.

Thankfully UnwiredView retain a version of the promo video, but sadly there is no sound. Still it's worth a gander ...

First Ice Cream Sandwich Handset To Be Built By Samsung    [ 27-06-2011 16:49 ]

Author: Ivanov Konstantin   Source: BGR     Translation by: Paul Smith     

Some more details about the first Android Ice Cream Sandwich handset emerged earlier today with BGR reporting that the likely manufacturer of the first device will be Samsung. The handset is expected to dispense with physical menu keys, feature a 720p resolution display and that display is said to have the 'Super AMOLED HD' branding, thus the Samsung connection.

The processor is probably going to be an OMAP4460 and there won't be any pesky network branding to ruin your fun. As for naming the current codename of 'Prime' may survive launch to see the device named the 'Google Nexus Prime'.

One rather interesting point BGR made was to say that according to their sources Google may be looking to launch several high-end Ice Cream handsets at once. Working with multiple manufacturers and networks Google could be intending each to launch their own 'exclusive' device with the lot launching at roughly the same time as each other.
