Bangalore: Lots of talks going around the web regarding Skype app for Windows Phones and many people wonder why Microsoft is delaying to integrate Skype app for Windows Phone. Microsoft has purchased Skype in October 2011 and now it?s planning to introduce a dedicated Skype app for devices based on Windows Phone OS.

?Microsoft?s Skype division is working on a Windows Phone product that will be coming out soon? said Rick Osterloh, VP of Products at Skype said at CES 2012, reports The Telegraphs.

Today many Windows Phone based smartphones comes with front facing cameras and majority of Windows Phone users are using third party apps for video calling or chats. Many are wishing to have a dedicated Skype app on their device rather than third party apps.

After a long gap Microsoft has started working with Skype as an integrated app. It may be a separate app which can be downloadable from the Windows app market or it might be included with the Windows Phone operating system.

It is surprising that Microsoft has still not included Windows Live Messenger and Skype to the Windows Phone OS but the company is keenly working on these services to be integrated to the operating system. Windows Phone users have to wait a little more for these services.

Exclusive: Siemens puts 1.7 trillion price tag on nuclear exit (Reuters)

FRANKFURT (Reuters) ? Siemens (SIEGn.DE) expects Germany’s exit from nuclear power to cost the country up to 1.7 trillion euros ($2.15 trillion) by 2030, the head of its energy business said.

“We have calculated that between 1,400 billion and 1,700 billion will have to be invested in the German energy sector over the next 20 years,” Siemens board member Michael Suess, in charge of the company’s Energy Sector, told Reuters.

“This will either be paid by energy customers or taxpayers,” he said at the annual Handelsblatt Energiewirtschaft conference.

The 1.7 trillion euros scenario is based on a strong expansion of renewables — with feed-in tariffs as the biggest chunk of costs — while the 1.4 trillion scenario emphasizes gas as one of the major energy alternatives, he said.

Europe’s biggest economy decided to abandon nuclear power after the massive earthquake and tsunami of March 11 hit Japanese reactors, causing an environmental disaster.

Siemens’ estimate for the shift away from nuclear is much higher than the 250-300 billion euros estimate given earlier by Juergen Grossmann, chief executive of Germany’s No.2 utility RWE (RWEG.DE). Grossmann, however, did not give a time frame for the investments.

Siemens’ Energy Sector — which is active in several areas including power transmission, solar, wind and hydro power — achieved 27.61 billion euros in sales in the fiscal year 2011, or about 38 percent of group revenues, while profit came in at 4.14 billion.

Last year, Siemens said it aimed to benefit from the global push into renewable energy by installing power lines to get electricity from sun-drenched and wind-swept sites to customers.

At the time, it said the global market for power transmission of high-voltage direct current could triple in the next few years to 9 billion euros.

Suess added Germany’s current renewable law (EEG) was insufficient in expanding renewable energy sources — above all, solar — in Germany in a sustainable way, adding the incentives were designed in a unfavorable way.

In Germany, generators of solar power receive a guaranteed price for their power for several decades, with no incentive to upgrade or modify their systems.

“We think that the energy system must not be a pawn of investors that aim to maximize their returns. The shift will not work with those incentives,” Suess said.

“One option would be to tie incentives to innovation, whereby owners of solar panels were forced to modernize their systems. Such incentives do not exist at the moment.”
