I just installed the beta of Skype 4. I wanted to try out the SIP integration.
I really don’t like the new interface because it nearly needs the whole screen. The big part on the right side may be useful while doing a voice chat, but having it there all the time really sucks…
Unfortunatly i wasn’t able to find the SIP Account Settings.
I really hope that eBay aka Skype will rethink this new GUI concept. Thes have such a big user and code base.
I also wonder how the Nokia – Trolltech deal will effect the future development…. Skype uses Trolltechs Qt Framework as you may know.
Qt on Nokias mobiles… Skype on Nokia mobiles ?!?!? …. would be a great deal for Nokia … eBay may sell Skype …
*********** UPDATE *****************
Hot NEWS!!!
Nokia is going to be buy Symbian wants to free the Symbian platform by moving it to open source.
This is a huge thing i think… espacially because googles android platform will not be available until the end of 2008
I fully agree that it sucks, I wrote some more on the subject, if anyone is interested in a read – http://readmystuff.wordpress.com/2008/09/13/skype-beta-40-sucks/
