Op I know you're anxious, but lets wait till BB10 gets here before we keep adding
to the 100 Skype threads on this forum.
We all pretty much know there's no chance of a Skype app until BB10 is here.
If I'd had that reply from Alec, my thread title would have been: "Alec doesn't say that there won't be Skype available for the Playbook"... but I guess some people are more "glass half empty" types of people.
Doesn't Microsoft now own Skype, I would guess they want to retain it for proprietary use on MS mobile. Anyone got thoughts on this? Does Apple allow Skype access to iphone? Android?
Additonal: is Skype on Android, if it is, can it be side loaded onto pb?
This issue used to bother me but you know what. Most of the time someone video chats me I never answer it. Why? Because I always seem to be unshaven, in my undies or on the can
Enough with skype already...there are more important things going on at RIM right now than getting skype. This topic along with net...I mean netflix is getting old.

No, they don't. The value of Skype is in it being cross-platform. They don't want to kill something they bought for almost 9 billion dollars.
If everybody wants skype pays a dollar to skype they should raise enough cash to be able get an app made. Someone email them and tell them to set an account up.
I think it's a good sign that Alec's not commenting on Skype. It could mean that they are in high level talks and don't want to give any update until the deal is done. Which will hopefully be very soon. Before BB10 I hope.
I'm gonna just say it... What good is having duel cameras if you can only video chat with people who have other PlayBook? If Skype doesn't come, then please give us Yahoo, MSN, Digsby, Imo, something!!! Please...
On a REALLY positive note : Shooting video on the PlayBook does work great!
I'm currently have a native app in the making that will have a capability of calling Skype contacts. It is currently able to call anyone on Skype, but I'm struggling to build a nice UI using the Native SDK. Now it looks like this: Attachment 111177. I hope to release a working build in June.

I volunteer as well, and I personally don't mind how the UI looks like. If it functions correctly and I am able to get in contact with my family in Europe, that is all that matters to me.
Count me in, and I will pay for the app as well.
