Skype for Windows Phone can't run on Tango devices and Skype responds

Skype v1.0

Yesterday, Skype and Microsoft took Skype for Windows Telephone out of beta and gave it the v1.0 designation, adding new functionality along with a more reliable connection.

Windows Phone Daily noticed that Skype app needs 512MB of RAM, which is fine for current handsets on the market but rules out so-called Tango phones like the Lumia 610 and ZTE Orbit which but have 256MB of RAM. Then the question naturally comes up: What's the deal?

A Skype spokesperson got dorsum to the states on the thing and while it confirms the limitation, it appears that it is something that they are well aware of and are looking to accost with futurity updates:

"As outlined in our Skype Garage blog, we are aware of diverse issues on the Skype for Windows Phone app, including minimum memory back up requirement. This is our showtime version of the Skype for Windows Phone app. To ensure our customers have the all-time Skype experience possible today, the Skype for Windows Phone app currently requires devices with Windows Phone 7.five and higher 512 MB of memory. Nosotros're invest (sic) in improving the Skype for Windows Phone app to deliver a great experience and plan to resolve issues and build new features on an ongoing basis."

If we were to read between the lines, we would accept estimate that Microsoft and Skype were pressed to go this app to the Marketplace and working with what they got on the backend (which we hear ain't pretty), hence the limitations. But it does sound similar the Skype team is working hard on bringing updates to the Windows Phone app and we can hope that optimization of the code will allow a more streamlined experience for the Tango phones in the hereafter.

Seeing as Tango phones are just getting fix to launch and the bulk of Windows Phones can run Skype mobile now, nosotros're not also concerned. But it will be interesting to run across how this goes forward in the future.

On some other notation, nosotros'll have more this week on Skype and why groundwork calls and notifications are actually a tricky affair to implement on Windows Phone. Information technology should exist an interesting read as our own Rafael Rivera will be doing the explaining. Stay tuned.
