The latest updates (http://blogs.skype.com/2014/09/03/skype-1-8-for-xbox-one-now-has-photo-viewing-and-enhanced-snap-experience/?linkId=9494701) to SuperSkype Extreme (http://www.engadget.com/2014/03/14/xbox-one-skype-update/)let you answer a call while you're playing a game or watching TV, snapping it off to the side like just about every other app on the console with a simple "Xbox, answer" voice command. The snapped-app fun (http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/21/xbox-ones-snap-mode-lets-you-use-two-apps-simultaneously/)doesn't stop there, because instead of interrupting whatever you're doing to view any recent calls or favorite contacts by going full-screen, you can now do that in the small window off to the side of your display. Message previews get in on the same action, too. If you're of the picture-sharing mind, the Xbox One (http://www.engadget.com/2013/11/20/microsoft-xbox-one-review/) app now accepts messages sent via mobile device as well, and you can even turn them into a slideshow if that's your bag -- after all, it won't cost you (http://www.engadget.com/2014/05/13/xbox-live-gold-netflix-hulu/) anything.
