Skype releases second PPC client update in as many months

Less than two months after Skype released version 1.2 for Pocket PC, which added Windows Mobile 5.0 and slower-processor support, comes yet another upgrade that includes a key feature WM5 smartphone users will find appealing. Besides numerous bug fixes and some appearance tweaks, version 2.0 enables an automatic cellular data connection if WiFi is unavailable. Users of current and previous versions have had to manually enact a data connection by opening a browser or email app if they wanted to make Skype calls over a 3G network. Keep in mind that calls made over WAN connections are subject to carrier data fees along with regular Skype charges, where applicable.
