Yahoo! Messenger Adds Essential Tricks For iPad 2 Users
May 19, 2011
The universal Yahoo! Messenger app has been updated. Version 2.1 includes an iPad-optimized layout and more.
Created by Yahoo!, the messaging app lets friends connect using Yahoo for real-time voice and video chats, free text messages, and photo sharing.
Its latest update is significantly improved for iPad and iPad 2 owners. First, the app finally offers a genuine native iPad UI. In horizontal mode, the app shows a user’s buddy list on the left side of the screen. On the right is the main chat window used to send text or photos.
For iPad 2 users, voice and video calling are also now available. Both services appear to work on both Wi-Fi and 3G.
According to its iTunes page, Yahoo! Messenger Voice is available on the iPhone/iPod touch, and iPad. Video, on the other hand, is available for the iPhone 3GS/4, iPod touch 4, and iPad 2.
Also included:
The free Yahoo! Messenger app is available in the App Store.
