And for those of you who think that MS will enhance Skype for non-MS environments, I have some land on the Moon that you might be interested in. MS is doing everything they can to get into the smartphone market. All of the new Skype features will only be released on WP7+.

Google and Apple will have to build out their competing applications.

The rise of VOIP dominant communication is imminent.

Before that it was okay to use VOICE without text message. Then SMS & MMS overpowered VOICE. Then DATA overpowered all before.

Voice, text & chat messaging and video chat all done via internet connection.
Skype will continues and expect more companies in the hot VOIP market.
