After the release of Windows Phone 7.5, Microsoft has confirmed that Skype will soon be available for Mango, while not specifying whether it will be a separate application or an integrated service.
Windows 7 Phone is increasingly marked by social services, especially with the advent of Mango: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Windows Live Messenger, Xbox Live! In fact they are already integrated into the system, and need only be used for setting up your account immediately. Skype is missing, for some time been available for iPhone OS and Android, thanks to dedicated applications.
As already mentioned, the Redmond company announced that Skype will be available soon for Windows 7 Phone, but does not confirm whether it will be made available as a downloadable application separately from the Marketplace, or if it is integrated into the system, as with other social netowork.
It is clear, however, that the conversations will not be integrated in the new Skype chat features WP7: for each contact in fact you can exchange messages via Windows Live! Messenger, SMS or via Facebook. Among these so there will be Skype. It is equally clear that Skype will be able to take full advantage of every way on the new front camera present and future WP7 device, allowing you to make video calls with other Skype users, which is already the case with iPhone OS and Android.
