Those who rely on Skype and have purchased, or will purchase the BlackBerry Z10,
can't be terribly pleased with the message that Skype has written on
its blog. Saying that BlackBerry 10 users will soon be able to download and use Skype, the next line gives away the secret. "We are working closely with BlackBerry to ensure the Skype for Android app runs great in the BlackBerry 10 environment."
And while some might shrug their shoulders, Android apps do not
perfectly translate over to BB10 especially since the version of Android
used is about two years old; eventually BlackBerry hopes to support
Android 4.1 apps.
This version of Skype for BlackBerry will soon
becoming to BlackBerry World. For those unfamiliar with Skype, it offers
free Skype-to-Skype video and phone calls. For calls, SMS and IMs made
to non Skype mobile or landlines, the pricing is cheaper
than the big guys (not that Skype is small, mind you). BlackBerry Z10
users will be able to video chat using BBM to other BlackBerry 10 users,
but that is a small drop in the bucket compared to the number of
potential people reachable via Skype's video chat capabilities.
