Facebook Launching Skype Powered Video Chat On Wednesday

Just yesterday, We had reported that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg had revealed that the company was planning to launch something awesome next week. Well, according to sources, it turns out that Facebook is all set to launch its new in-browser Skype powered video chat facility next week.

This partnership with Facebook might be beneficial for Skype as well, which is now a Microsoft owned property. Since we know that Microsoft isn't in the online social networking game, they won't really have any objections with Skype forming a partnership with Facebook and one shouldn't forget the fact that Microsoft is a shareholder in Facebook.

Many analysts believe that Facebook's "something awesome" would be related to the mobile or tablet arena including the release of a long-awaited Facebook app for iPad and a dedicated app for photo-sharing on the iPhone. However, it turns out that its going to be completely different. Partnering with Skype, Facebook will now bring in-brower video chat for its over 750 million users.

Facebook has also posted a job opening requiring the services of a software developer to make desktop applications for Windows and Mac. Does this mean that Facebook wants to make a debut in desktop based video chatting solution as well? With Skype already dominating that, how does Facebook plan to do that whilst being in partnership with Skype itself?

All of these questions will be answered, come Wednesday. We'll be sure to update you with all the details regarding Facebook's new service, right here.

Multiple iPhone apps side by side on the iPad

Aaron Ash, a well-famous iPhone developer, has today managed to run two iPhone apps side by side on the iPad. The developer of the tweak didn't mention it's name and didn't give an ETA on his blog post but he said it's going to be public soon.

Yes, and it actually works! I’ve wasted plenty of time already playing 2 games of Angry Birds at the same time. (I actually was playing 3 for a while, but it crashed when I tried to add a 4th). There are a few bugs, such as audio not working, and accelerometer events not getting sent to applications; it may take a while to sort these out. The bottom right button turns on “edit mode” which allows you to rearrange applications, and rotate them (Angry Birds normally runs in landscape, here they’re turned). I’m debating on if I should go for the typical desktop feel or make it more SpringBoard-like and keep apps in preset locations. I probably won’t have time to really polish this up and release for a few months, but I’ll keep hacking away at it and possibly post updates every now and then. Performance is actually pretty good, definitely useable.
