Last May, Microsoft bought Skype, the world's most popular video calling software company. And the plans that this first one had were clear: focus on the integration of video calls in the mobile operating system Windows Phone 7. And Neil Stevens, Vice President of Skype has stated in an interview with Forbes that the version that is being developed for Microsoft's icon system will not have anything to do with the current versions that are on the market for different mobile platforms.
Neil Stevens has made reference to the policy that Apple or Google has with third party programs and the limitations they impose; some of them as being unable to access the address book or video processor, thus being impossible to have an experience worthy use. For this same reason, the Vice President of Skype has commented that the version that is being developed for Windows Phone 7 will not look like an application, but will be part of the mobile.
And is that with access without limiting all the details of the operating system, Skype will have an advantage over any other third-party application in Windows Phone 7. This would be the same situation that occurs with the native Apple FaceTime application or Google Talk on Google. But there is still more. And it is that in this way - the way in which you want to include the application -, the user would have much faster access to the use of the most widespread video call service in the world. It would not be necessary to search for the application and open it.
