That is unacceptable. But at the same time I can understand Microsoft.they payed plenty and will now cash in with exclusivity :mad:

I can't understand how Microsoft cans the API while their own official clients work like crap. I mean use Skype on Windows Phone for a couple days and you just want to throw the device at a wall (despite the good voice quality). Same counts for the Windows desktop Skype client - which is full of advertisement & a poor piece of software - even though I pay regularly for Skype-credits ads won't go away. At least on OSX and even (despite outdated version) on Linux things are better. Also on Android the official version causes many troubles (overheating of some Android devices, continue ringing even after picking up call, crashing of the application).
3rd party apps on desktop or mobile (like on Harmattan - despite no video call) work very well and are compatible with the paid services.
But I don't even ask why Microsoft does it, because the general rule simply is: Everything touched by Microsoft is doomed.
Unfortunately I (have!) to use Skype a lot and on a daily basis. There's no alternative available which offers the same stuff and is available on several devices. I'm open to try out other stuff if someone knows about alternatives (I'm not talking about normal SIP accounts which I already use) and would at least try to convince my contacts to use them...
And btw: I thought only the API for desktop software will be closed? Or did I missunderstand that & infact it affects any kind of platform?

Lol
The joys of using proprietary protocols.
No pity for you Skype users.

It seems like Microsoft will remove the 3rd party API from Skype in December.
Does anyone know how that will affect the nicely integrated and up until now quite reliable Skype implementation on the N9? Will Skype on the N9 be deprecated now and stop working?
Update: fixed link.
