Skype adds HD video calling support for iOS apps

While high-definition video calls have been a feature in Skype’s Windows Phone app since March, Apple users are only now being introduced to the said feature with the version 4.10 update of the app. iPhone and iPad users can now see their Skype video callers in HD. 

The latest update also gives a hand to international callers with a drop-down menu that lets you select a specific country code instead of needing to type it. Improvements in terms of call quality and stability have also been included. You can download the Skype app for the iPhone 5 here and for the fourth-generation iPad one here. 

Google Drive adds spellcheck and customizable lists

Google Drive comes up with another incremental but useful update by adding a spellcheck mode and customizable bulleted lists.

Spellcheck mode lets you check your entire document or presentation at once. You just need to select “Tools” from the menu bar and then click on “Spelling.” Meanwhile, with the customizable lists, Google lets you change the size, color, and style of individual bullets, which can be considered an OC’s dream.

TweetDeck introduces New Tweet panel

Avid Twitter and TweetDeck users are in for a treat. TweetDeck just released an updated version of its Web and Chrome apps with a dedicated New Tweet panel. This new section helps you easily post to multiple accounts with image previews, suggesting usernames and hashtags as you type, automatically shortens URLs, and speeds up replying to multiple tweets.

While it’s only currently available for the Web and Chrome versions, it will soon be available for Windows and Mac.
