Osterioh further informed that Skype will also be integrated in other products like Windows 8, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Lync however he refused to give detailed information on what type of app integration that Skype is working on.
Microsoft on the other hand is planning on its first Windows Phone Skype application which will be available until Windows Phone “Apollo” Is made available which is will be out late of this year.
At the MIX 2011, Microsoft demonstrated the Skype application. Many hopefuls are looking forward to a Skype app for Windows Phone at the Mobile World Congress in February 2012 in Barcelona, Spain.
