Windows Phone 8 Apollo Doesn’t Skip Skype

Another big watching point from fans of Microsoft, and what is sure to be a huge selling point, will be how Microsoft decides to integrate Skype, which Microsoft recently purchased in 2011. It appears that Skype will be available for download as an optional app and will not be built into the phone directly. It also appears that the Skype app will be very user friendly in the Windows Phone.



Just as easily as you can make a phone call, you will be able to make a Skype VoIP call, and neither person on either end of the conversation will be able to distinguish the difference. This should be an interesting feature, as cell phone service providers are sure to not be a fan of this option.
