Hi: The utility that GW uses to develope GW-Connect is the Skype Kit, which was developed by Skype . The problem that GW Micro is up against is that the features that they would like to include in GW-Connect such as vidio calling are not, as of now, included in the Skype Kit, and, as has been pointed out, until these features are included in the Skype Kit, GW cannot include them in GW-Connect.
