Where is our new Skype app?

Skype is a battery drainer. I need to use Skype almost 8 hours a day. Since it is a battery hog. I moved to im+ pro with push and 2 Skype account online full time. They Work clever and the battery drain is too low.

Skype 5.0 has been released for iOS today

And it looks and works exactly like a WP app! Microsoft has the right approach with these Trojan horse apps on other platforms. Offer them the look and feel of Windows Phone and eventually they will switch.

Doesn't Joe's tweet actually say the OS is finished on shipping phones like the 630? And sites can be wrong so I'm definitely not going to take aawp's word as fact.

Nope, I understand the FW to the new devices is now finished and they're testing the update code. I agree though that all of this is unclear, so let's wait & see. But I'm pretty sure that even the 630 will get a newer OS than it has now when we get the real thing on our older devices.

Skype is run as an independent business. For all intents and purposes, they do as they please.

As an MSFT shareholder, I felt very disturbed by the fact they bought something without control.

Well, we got an update, but I'm not really impressed.
