Microsoft is introducing a rather unique feature to its Skype Android client today. Version 4.5 of the app now includes a picture-in-picture window that shows Skype video calls even when you switch to another Android app. Microsoft claims it’s the “first Android application” to offer this functionality, and the company is enabling it on Android tablets today. There’s no support for Android phones, but both versions require a new permission to drawn on top of other apps.
