Benefits of Skype
7. But when it comes to more broader compatibility and support, Skype is a
clear winner as it supports cross platform video calling between Iphone, iPad
and iPod touch to Windows, Mac and vice versa. Skype also has support for
video calling over 3G, something which Face Time lacks.This is the reason
for apple to collaborate with Skype in order to get competitor advantage.
It would be most interesting to see not only if this drives more users to using
Skype as opposed to the carriers’ voice channels but also the fallout for the
transition of communications from a very hardware-oriented infrastructure
to a complete software infrastructure operating totally “in the cloud”.
