PC Centre Algarve can be contacted on 282 356 560.Skype is for connecting with the people that matter most in your life and work. Of course the big question is, will the system remain free from SkyPe to SkyPe or will the system become the biggest paid-for VOIP system on the market?

SkyPe is currently available as a downloadable app from both Apple’s AppStore and through the Android network, allowing users to connect through WiFi and use SkyPe. Last year, Microsoft launched its Windows Phone 7 which received good reviews, but it is yet to gain the foothold Microsoft is hoping for.

It is thought that SkyPe could play a fundamental role in the development of Microsoft’s mobile phone based software in an area it is currently lacking against rivals such as Apple and Google with its Android system. SkyPe would only improve and enhance this particular product. The division behind Microsoft’s lucrative Office Suite has also produced an application known as Lync, which ties together email, IM (instant messaging) and voice / video communications into a single application. SkyPe could play a big role in the future of Microsoft, diversifying its markets from its Windows operating system and office applications allowing it to expand its operation and put pay to concerns from shareholders about the increase in the OS market to the likes of Apple, whose name and presence has increased hugely following the launch of the iPad and its noticeable reduction in prices for retail computers. In 2009, eBay sold 70% of its shares in the internet telephone system to private investors for over billion. The company was bought by eBay in 2005 for a value reported to be in excess of billion in cash and stock.

Today, SkyPe has grown to 663 million registered users, including nearly nine million paying users worldwide. SkyPe was founded in 2003 by two software developers, Niklas Zennstrom and Janue Friis, two programmers known to have created the file sharing technology known as Kazaa that was synonymous with music piracy.
