PSA Reminder: Skype for will likely die in 11 days.

But 12 days later it still worked.

Skype still works for users after the 1 July warning date. It will communicate to older clients but not new ones. Be advised.

But by working I only meant that legacy clients like ours and to include Android, Linux, and Apple clients that used their older protocol could still talk to each other but not with the newer clients.

Then in the middle of August, webOS forum user, mazzinia, noted .  I only noticed it in September…

You can see some rather confusing entries in when trying to login.  It doesn’t amount to any good sadly.

If you have a Skype account already added to webOS then your log will look something like this but for those that don’t have a Skype account added to Synergy then you won’t be able to add it anymore.

Farewell, Skype for webOS.

#webOSforever
