I’d like to have an application that will let me contact, chat and discuss with any sailfish os user around the world anytime free of cost just like facebook. There should be a community or forum also just like here in this site or like maemo talk group. I don’t want to enter a website to talk to sailfish users. It’ll be very cool to have.

Not too sure where to post this, however:

in a world where more and more mobile phones are used in businesses, phone exchanges and operators are going the same way as the dodo -bird with, perhaps, the unintended consequence that calling someone in company A (on their mobile) means they cannot transfer the call to another person [even within company A]. Instead one is forced to hang up and dial the other person.

I’m just wondering here, but would it possible for JollaMobile and Sailfish to include a feature which would allow transferring a call to another phone (landline or mobile, regardless)?? It would be hugely useful in business models.

Well I think there ought to be another replacement for Skype eg. Miranda for Sailfish, it contains tons of plug-ins includin Skype, Jabber, ICQ, and whatany else you want. Just the better soft.

I think at the day of release there will be more apps then devices. So for a time this will be the only one device/system on which could be launched the 1 and the unique software piece. Of course it will last for a limited time and I doubt if anybody would play this way. However, that could be quite #unlike Guiness record. Bigger number of apps then number of devices.

And before M$, Ebay acquired Skype in 2005, followed by another company who bought 65% in 2009.

Here’s the Wiki for anyone interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skype#eBay_acquisition

Looks like you might both be right – seems Estonians, a Swede and a Dane were involved:

Skype was first released in August 2003 written by Estonian developers Ahti Heinla, Priit Kasesalu, and Jaan Tallinn, Danish Janus Friis, and Swedish Niklas Zennström, who had also originally developed Kazaa.[13] It developed into a platform with over 600 million users and was bought by Microsoft in 2011 for $8.5 billion.
