Serious question: Why does everyone want Skype so badly?
I just started using Skype again a few days ago, since I had to videoconference with the MintChip Challenge folk. Currently using it for the instant messaging portion.
Why does everyone want it on the PlayBook/BB10 so badly? Is it for the instant messaging? Is it for the voice/video chat? Or is it for the ability to call actual phone numbers?
I ask because I may be able to solve one of those problems. But it wouldn't connect to the Skype network, so if that's why people want Skype so badly, then my idea wouldn't be too useful.
I use it for calling telephones internationally as well as Skype to Skype
I have a call a phone subscription on Skype.
We have friends in UK and Australia so it is far more convenient to call their telephone using Skype for only 2.5 cents per minute rather than arranging for Skype sessions in advance.
We also use it when overseas. For example, we will be in India for November /December.
I hope Skype will be in place by then.
Thanks

we want Skype and Netflix
Well, I really use Skype allot on my Laptop and it would be handy to have it on my PB. I also use Netflix, and wouldnt mind it on my Playbook although I dont know how often I would use it.-- I think the most important thing is we feel slighted as PB users when we cant have an App that everyone else has. I just wish Rim would hand over the envelope to whoever they have to, So Dev can make the app for our platform.
Think about it... If Playbook had every app iPAD had there would be no debate which one is better.
