For screen sharing, we have goddamn amount of solutions for that, VNC based or not. I don't see damn reason why it need to be bundled in one program, just to pretend being clone of Skype :confused: Quote:

Also, because it is proven to be goddamned resource and network usage hog, by design (twice as much, if you happen to be marked as supernode by Skype, which of course, you don't have control over). /Estel [1] https://www.blackhat.com/presentatio...-biondi-up.pdf |

BTW, IM and video chat may seem "completely different" to you but for most people - including me - they are just different forms of chat. So it makes sense to bundle them in the same application. Much more so than bundling playing MP3s and videos in one Media Player, or a news reader into an email client, for the matter. Here are just a few real-life use cases from the recent past. All of them start with, "I am in an IM chat and suddenly..."

So yes, Skype no longer working on my phone is a big deal. Not the end of the world but a major inconvenience. |
Re: Skype for Legacy Mobile OS is ending soon
With the 8.1 cyan update, a tap away to convert an incoming cell call to skype internet call on lumia phone is a wonderful feature on lumia.
Microsoft now have pureview, skype and here maps, what else should I need on a phone? All it takes is SWIPE ui/ux? Maybe |
Re: Skype for Legacy Mobile OS is ending soon
to maintain skype calls to others, you could use ippi's sip to skype gateway, just have to change usernames slightly to use @skype.ippi.fr iirc. receiving skype via sip is a little harder as they have to connect to a skype2ippi user and then enter your ippi username in chat.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you set own your own PBX at @home - then, whatever you want, will be working. Quote:
Now, I understand the convenience of sharing desktop by "one click", but I also consider this a hell of security risk, especially, if build into application that is obfuscated as hell and no one knows what it is really doing. Quote:
If that isn't good enough argument, then it boils down to using any_random_software that is harmful, just because everyone else is doing so, and my heoroine (as in drugs) example apply. Quote:

Re: Skype for Legacy Mobile OS is ending soon
Maemo version is still working for me as of right now (for logging in and sending IMs/group chat at least, I dont use it for voice stuff)
And yes, like others in this thread, not having Skype on my phone anymore will be annoying (its much easier to leave my N900 on than it is to leave a full windows PC running all night so I can pick up messages/chat sent to me) Oh and no convincing the other users of this group chat to switch protocols isn't an option. |
Re: Skype for Legacy Mobile OS is ending soon
Symbian S60v3 client woks too.
My N900 needs an LCD ... |
Re: Skype for Legacy Mobile OS is ending soon
I cant find anywhere info on the fact that the support would be discontinued for Nokia N-series phones, so it might be that N900 and N9 might survive the axe this time. Only WP7 and symbian are singled out by skypes official pages, and nothing is seen on the support page about discontinuation for N-series phones. The symbian support pages has the information about the support ending as does the WP7, but N-series does not. Keeping fingers crossed.
