Skype goes Video!

Skype, which has been recently bought by eBay for US $2.6 billion - has just released today its new software - version 2.0 beta which enables free video calling, including a full screen video VoIP.

In addition to video, the redesigned Skype software contains a new and improved user interface with customizable ringtones, avatars, skins, toolbar for Microsoft Outlook and grouping of contacts for easier conference calling.

At the same time, Skype has announced it's partnership with Logitech and Creative, makers of webcams and headsets, as well Six Apart which now enables integration of Skype into a number of popular Weblogs including Blogger and Type Pad.

And in the words of Niklas Zennstrvm, Skype CEO "At Skype we want to make talking over the Internet the most natural, simple thing for people all over the world to do. With the release of our new software, it's never been easier for people to talk to one another for free, and now they can see each other with video, as well."
