Skype for Android just got a serious update, for the first time giving Microsoft’s VOIP app a true tablet interface.

The company says it gives you the optimal voice quality that your connection can sustain. It’s too bad a separate portrait layout isn’t part of the package (the app stays locked in landscape), but we’re just glad to see such a popular application being rescued from stretched-out phone app status.
