Windows 8.1 removed messaging, and people use Skype now instead. I'm wondering how messaging will be handled in WP8.1? will Skype handle SMS messaging, as well as IM and others? Will Skype do MMS?
I don't see SMS going away anytime soon. It's a cash cow for carriers, and it'll be necessary until feature phones no longer exist.
What I'm wondering is:
1. Will there be 3rd party keyboards available?
2. The current keyboard will be updated but no details are given that I know of. Can someone chime in if they know anything specific? I really hope they made the space bar longer, no more,more,of,this
