1. Does Skype have snapping abilities and what if a call comes in while playing a game or watching TV? Does it get snapped but direct snapping does work?

2. The guide... I have cut cable so I don't plan to ever use the HDMI pass through feature. Is the guide still for me? Is there enough use out of it to be used even though I don't have a cable connection passing through it?

3. The sensitivity of the microphone for Kinect... It seems that people have to yell at it to get Xbox to initiate. Is this the case? And if so is there a way to up the sensitivity for the Kinect to perhaps hear you better? I notice this is the same issue with my Xbox 360. Sometimes, like my girlfriend, it just ignores what I am saying.

4. What is the biggest and most interesting feature of smartglass? Smartglass is awesome for my 360. How much better is the Xbox One SG? For me I wish it did more of a mircast thing where If I pull up IE on the One then an explorer would be on my SG so that I can type and properly move around the screen. As of now it doesn't really do things like that per se. It almost seems if my phone app works better than the Windows 8.1 app. But the 8.1 app seems to look as if it can do more potentially. If that makes sense.

5. Are there any surprise apps coming to the Xbox One on launch? It am almost upset and disappointed on the Xbox teams clear app initiative or what their road map exactly is for apps. They really dropped the ball on that one but wondered if you had any more insight to what they might be holding close to the chest.

Thanks I look forward to your responses.
