Skype, of course, to roll this week. Just yesterday, it transformed the latest beta version of its Windows Mobile phone software in the full release. On Tuesday, the companies did it again to Skype 4.1 for Windows. In addition, Apple okayed Skype 1.1 for iPhone and IPod Touch, which you can download now.

Skype 4.1 for Windows

Skype 4.1 beta restore functions, such as accessibility, birthday reminders, as well as an opportunity to send along your contact to another contact. They were abandoned when the first Skype has updated its interface in the style of 4.0, citing the desire that the main function of the door, before piling on the extras. These are additional services that users, however, for clamored. This is a minor point upgrade also includes major new features, which was first introduced in the beta version of Skype 4.1, a screen-sharing.

screen initiates the exchange of video calls, using the technology of broadcasting the recording of your screen - either part or the entire screen - to another spectator. Screen sharing has some limitations. You can not simultaneously see a video of your friend, and from one viewer at a time, you can check the screen, you can not use it as a free, home-made replacement for collaborative Internet conferencing. It does not help that the picture quality is still choppy and unclear, as partial and full screen display modes.

Make no mistake, this is one interesting feature that we are happy to see added, but we will be more happier to see her improve.

In addition to screen sharing, Skype 4.1 allows you to feed the search for contacts from other address books, including Gmail, AOL, MSN, Yahoo, Microsoft Outlook, as well as the schools of other players. If you have it installed, the web panel will focus on the toll-free numbers and contact names so you can make calls through Skype.

To begin to change this update iPhone pours on multilingual support, making it available in Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Swedish and Traditional Chinese.

It is still far to go if it is that all the additional features and featurettes, in the round of the Skype experience - the games and the conference call, only two. We are already looking forward to the fact that Skype will make video calls now that the iPhone 3GS has a new gloss of your camcorder.
