My N810 runs OS2008 still. Today during normal telephone call with friend I was asked about Skype account. After call I grabbed tablet and looked at available applications.
Few minutes later I was logged into Skype account. But to get notifications application has to work… Same problem also exists with Gizmo… Both are available by default (as links to installation) in OS2008 but not integrated into system at all…
I wonder why that situation exists — user can add Google Talk, normal Jabber accounts and SIP ones and those are handled by Maemo Contacts application. Why Nokia did not made such integration possible for external IM/telephony applications…
Probably same reason as with i18n: lack of thinking on design phase…

Many people use IM (Instant Messaging) each day. There are many protocols available: AIM, GaduGadu, GroupWise, ICQ, IRC, Jabber, Meanwhile, MSN, WinPopup, Yahoo and probably some other…
I use IRC since my usage of Internet began, then ICQ started to be popular (and my Amiga was connected to academic network via Ethernet), about year later people started switching to GaduGadu and some time later I started using Jabber. Today I use IRC each day (you can catch me on freenode and IRCnet), two Jabber accounts, one ICQ and two GaduGadu (one for private contacts, one for coworkers). My favorite method of IM contact is Jabber, then ICQ (I do not count IRC here as it is not so one-to-one chat). I dislike GaduGadu for its lack of normal features, ignoring privacy and such stuff.
