Microsoft has announced that its professional communication app Lync 2013 will be available for Android, iOS and Windows Phone 8. It includes voice and video calls, and comes out in March for Windows Phone/iOS and the Android version is scheduled for April.

From June 2013, Lync users will be able to connect to Skype users too. Instant messaging will be first, with video calls coming during the next 18 months. This means Lync users will be able to contact and call anyone on Skype from Lync.

iOS users on iPad will also be able to use Lync’s shared desktop feature.
