Skype has been popping up in the headlines recently, mainly due to their "will they/them" iPad app release. While it is true that Apple's iOS is a huge priority for companies wishing to expand into the mobile space, let us not forget that Microsoft paid a cool $ 8.5 billion to pick up messages juggernaut last May. The big question then is, where is the love for Windows?
Skype move to Windows 7 phone seems to have been on the back burner for a while, but if the new position, popping up on Skype's career is any indication, they may finally get going.
Everyone knew that Skype will eventually make its way onto the market # 4 mobile OS even before the formal acquisition, but the company stayed mum about anything resembling the specific details. New lists, inter alia, to specify a specific emphasis on Windows platforms and Windows phone 7 is a software engineer their responsibilities include "is responsible for the construction and optimization engine Skype video solutions for Microsoft Windows and Windows Mobile platforms." this is a long time in development, but it's kind of Nice to see Microsoft finally getting some benefits from the horribly expensive purchase.
Readers love connecting dots you can see that Skype "Fall" release window occurs simultaneously with Microsoft (vague) Mango timeline. With Skype is now an official part of Microsoft, it would be logical to assume that the new Skype application that supports video calling released side-by-side with the software upgrade we have all been waiting for, but it is impossible to say at the moment. One thing this announcement simply confirms that the appearance of turning the front camera on new WinPho equipment, useful supplement, if not the most amazing.
