What is Microsoft's solution how to create Lync enabled apps to Windows RT and/or Windows Phone 8?
We currently have a nice Lync enabled app running on Windows 8 tablets (as a Win7 app). Customers desperately want to use this app on their phones. We were hoping that we could've start coding Windows Phone 8 version of the app when Windows Phone 8 SDK is released and use Lync 2013 SDK on top of Windows Phone 8 SDK. Because Lync 2013 SDK doesn't support VS 2012, it cannot be done (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sk-SK/ucmanagedsdk/thread/1b92c314-c869-44e0-9e78-91c37bfcf3e4)
Am I right:
1) Microsoft doesn't currently have any solution how to create Lync enabled Metro app regardless of the architecture (Intel, Win RT, Win Phone 8)?
2) Microsoft cannot give any estimation when Metro enabled Lync SDK will be available?
3) There is no Lync SDK that could be used to create a Windows Phone 7 app?
We would like to port our app to Windows Phone 8 (instead of Windows Phone 7), because of its more advanced multi-tasking capabilities.

PS. Would it be easier to create a custom Lync enabled app on Android or iOS devices?
