Sorry for going off-topic, but this was standing out.

Let me elaborate.. The reason why I said it's unacceptable because it's ridiculous if it was like Symbian + MeeGo all over again.. If they can bring Skype voice calls there should be the video call capability and not just voice calls..

I hate the current inwash of proprietary, closed, centralized protocols.

Also, there's something that you guys keep on forgetting.. If Jolla wants to succeed to appeal to the masses.. Then the device MUST have all those "unnecessary" and "hated" features.. Just because you don't like a feature or don't use it doesn't mean everyone is the same.. Many people use Skype and other similar "unwanted" (by your standards) features...

EDIT: To elaborate even more on Skype video.. Here's a scenario.. In my case for example, I live by myself here in the USA as a student.. My parents are in Jordan, my friends are pretty much everywhere (Jordan, Canada, England, China... etc).. So I like to talk to them and see them via Skype often...
