The plan for proper integration has always been for it to be in Apollo.
They’ve made that clear since yonks ago…

What’s sad is that harmattan was/is better positioned to fully integrate skype vid.
But Nokia won’t because it’s too politically/tactically sensitive.

Not cool of them at all, very uncool.

Because to integrate a program flawlessly into an OS isn’t a walk in the park. My guess is, they’re trying to integrate it right away, meet bugs and other nasty things that would make the experience of using WP not as good as they envision it, so they move to working on a separate app instead, and integrate it in future OS upgrade (I’m assuming Apollo).

Are you serious? Nobody I know of uses it. Here most people use Facebook or Tumblr. Twitter isn’t even that big, only with tech people. Haha.

There is obviously already a centralised server to hold usernames and passwords, IPs and account info. It’s not that hard to augment this with a poll-push system where a client (initiating the connection) asks the server to send a notification to the recipient. This notification can hold the IP address of the originating client so that all communications for that call can then be P2P.

IM would require slightly more resources (eg message storing), but still quite a simple procedure.

Now that Skype is owned by Microsoft it’s definitely feasible that these small change could be made to the protocol quite easily, especially as there are no longer any third-party clients to worry about breaking.
