Skype now in HDTVs

Posted by Karan Israni On February 28, 2010 11 COMMENTS

This Samsung-Skype tie-up will mark a new generation of effective communication

With Wi-Fi-enabled TVs gaining popularity, it was only a matter of time before someone advanced to another level and introduced video calling feature. Samsung and Skype have announced two upcoming HDTV lines that will offer embedded Skype software. The Samsung LED 7000 and 8000 series will allow customers to place video and voice calls directly through their sets. A double-treat eagerly awaited by all.

Unfortunately though, the video camera isn't built-in. So buyers will need to attach a low-profile FreeTalk TV camera for Samsung created by In Store Solutions. You can avail the camera from the Skype online store when stocks arrive.

To make a call, you'll need to use the remote to log into your account and navigate the Skype interface. Skype video calls will be free, as will Skype-to-Skype voice calls. The sets are shipping in Korea now and will ship worldwide in the first half of the year.

    I use the service a good deal. I only wish there were some way to email somebody and tell them that they’re sounding out the name of my township incorrectly! It’s like fingernails on the blackboard!
