For the first time Microsoft is actually working as "One" company. They are communicating and we can see now. Way more transparent than last decade.
Skype updated its app. Now we know how we all like to moan about Skype being the most crappiest and ugliest experience on Microsoft's own OS. Someone at Microsoft has a different story to tell us. They are actually making it tailored to Microsoft's own hardware - Lumia.
We are bringing you great audio quality regardless of your environment – - Skype Blogs
Here is an interesting quote:
“Audio signal processing over mobile devices is getting more sophisticated all the time. We can therefore leverage the audio capabilities that have been optimized for a specific device’s acoustics,” notes Sriram Srinivasan, Senior Program Manager, Audio Digital Signal Processing. “Several Lumia phones, for example, have multiple microphones, and what we do is work with the Lumia team to make sure those devices’ capabilities are perfectly aligned with what we want Skype to do.” Sriram gave a very common example – what happens when you want to make a video call with your Lumia in a noisy place like an airport? “When you’re activating the front facing camera, signals from all the microphones are combined using Lumia’s smart signal processing technology to zoom in to your voice and cancel everything else.”
I suppose, now we can no longer shout that Microsoft's own apps suck on its own platform. Granted, we don't have the feature parity yet, but we surely can see Microsoft working in the right direction - the best experience of Microsoft services on Microsoft hardware, right?
