5 million downloads and a Pocket PC public chat

By My status Tony Saigh on November 21, 2006 in Mobile Devices.

Skype for Pocket PC reached an amazing milestone last month in reaching 5 million downloads and winning Smartphone and Pocket PC Magazine's Best Software 2006 award in the phone and fax category (for the second year running).

Things seem to move so fast at Skype that I often need to remind myself to stop and think. Reaching 5 million downloads in just over two years is unprecented in the Windows Mobile developer community and more than anything shows just how important an application Skype is to Pocket PC users.

As amazing an achievement as this is, we know there's still plenty of room for improvement and we're keen to get feedback from our users and the Windows Mobile community about things that you love and would like to see more of and equally important (if not more) things that really bother you and stop you from using Skype even more on your Pocket PC device.

We get some great feedback from our forums but as the new Skype 3.0 Beta for Windows has public chats, this seems like a great way to get some interactive feedback and discussion. So please, join this chat and let us know what we can do to make Skype for Pocket PC even better.

N.B. You need to be using Skype 3.0 Beta for Windows to join this or any Skype public chat.

Great, but when are you adding SMS to the mobile version of Skype? I think it is time to consider that.
Is it planned?
Thanks.
