Over at About.com Nadeem, who covers VoIP ponders the point that with Microsoft buying Skype we may see a Blackberry client from Skype. Well given the tight-fisted way RIM doles out access to the stack that lets you access WiFi, and the fact that some patents are in place around that, not to mention the security layers, I'm not holding my breath.
Before that happens, please Skype stop making me feel like you're a step-child to Apple, and one that's crippled too. You see, there's on key feature missing on the Skype iOS client that other apps that allow calling over WiFi or 3G offer (like Truphone). It's BlueTooth integration. Nothing would do my heart more joy than the ability to use Skype via my car's BlueTooth system or to a BlueTooth headset or speaker system, so thus the analogy to being a step child.
