Skype for iPhone

The new visual design looks very lightweight and contemporary. Obviously gradients are being overdone these days, but this seems like a nice, tasteful facelift.

While I think remixing Skype is a brave and smart move, this feels like a knee-jerk reaction to the trend of the day. However, I don't think Skype faces much risk in alienating its current user-base since most previous users probably won't care. It'll be interesting to see if they also launch a Skype Pro version for business users

I don't get all the negativity. Everything, every startup and product is inspired by something that came before it. Everyone's talking about Slack as if Slack was a completely original concept when it came out. I for one really like the new visual identity, focus on fun and the revamps to video calls.

Everything is Snapchat now!

It will be interesting what Skype does with business users like me. I pay each quarter to use Skype to call cells and landlines in U.S and Canada. This idea seems like a wacky departure. There are a lot of people like me. Seems that they should use Skype technology, but spin off this snapchat mutant, while keeping Skype as it is.

How do you do, fellow kids

Wow, am I the only here who thinks it looks great? I feel like just because it is Skype from Microsoft people need to make fun of it :)
