Source: www.voip-news.com

The folks at Skype are definitely no one-trick pony, as is evidenced by their latest announcement.  Today Skype released the latest version of their communication software, Skype 3.6 for Windows, which now makes free high quality video calls a sharp reality.  The VGA-quality video calls, at 640×480 pixels, broadcast up to 30 frames a second with broadband connections, so users can now experience even sharper and smoother video calls with ease.

“Our recent announcement made many people realize that sharp, smooth and life-like video calls on the internet should be available to everyone, not just big companies with expensive video-conferencing equipment,“ said Gareth O‘Loughlin, Skype’s general manager, mobile and hardware devices, in a recent press release. “Those who’ve previewed High Quality Video have been blown away by its realism. Today, with Skype 3.6 for Windows, the Genie is out of the bottle for good.”

Skype 3.6 for Windows is available as a free download at skype.com.
