Sorry about the other two people, I do not think they know what a real question is and what a joke is. However, there are no signs at the moment that Skype will become available for the Playbook right know. What you could do to help is contact Skype via whatever works for you and complain that we do not have an app for the Playbook! Hope this helped!
don't apologize for me, crackberry has a feature that when you enter a thread title it brings up similar titles,he obviously ignored that. Secondly, there are billions of threads on the topic, one was started the day before. Thirdly, he should direct his question to microsoft.
i will be patient, and wait for os2 and see what apps come/are coming in the near future. just know if skype was coming to the pb and we knew, you wouldnt even get a chance to ask the question
