Skype su PC, mobile, Web, TV

Interessante resoconto di Skype Journal sulla strategia di sviluppo di Skype delineata da Scott Durschlag (COO) la settimana scorsa al CES.

Pick up a smartphone, find the Skype button. Turn on the TV, find a Skype button, have a conversation. Open a web browser; start a Skype session. All this to complement Skype on the desktop. Today, besides on the desktop, you can find Skype on over 200 mobile phone handsets, several (Sony) mobile devices, Skypephone and Apple TV. But Scott emphasized, this is only the beginning. It will only start to get real when we see Skype on higher profile devices such as the iPhone and BlackBerry or when we start to see Skype seriously back into the hardware device business with vendors such as Philips and iPevo.

Then Scott outlined four benchmark criteria that every implementation of a Skype on any platform or device must meet:

* High call quality
* Simple and easy user interface
* Consideration for battery life
* Security
