Skype 2 Beta

Published December 6th, 2005


Skype is upgrading its popular Internet telephone service to add video calling and a toolbar for Microsoft Outlook to find and dial contacts with a click. The long-promised “2.0″ edition was launched Thursday by Skype, which was acquired last month by Internet auctioneer eBay Inc. (Nasdaq:EBAY) for an eye-popping $2.6 billion. The video feature will not cost extra, so Skype’s trademark computer-to-computer calls will remain free.
