Skype released the beta version of Skype 2.0, the newest version of its software that allows anyone with an Internet connection to make free Internet calls. The software is designed for greater ease of use, integrated video calling, and enhanced features that allow people to stay in touch and express themselves online.

Skype also announced its collaboration with global headset and Webcam partner Logitech, as well as partnerships with Webcam manufacturer Creative, and with weblog software and services company Six Apart.

Available in 27 languages, Skype is used by people in almost every country around the world, and Skyping has become a global phenomenon. The latest version of the software has further simplified the Skype interface, making it even easier for people to see and speak with their family, friends and colleagues.

The new releases includes:

  • Skype Video - see your friends and family on the full computer screen or in the Skype calling window. Skype Video also includes a window to view what you look like to the person you are calling.
  • Simplified user interface - an intuitive menu with one-click access to key features and options makes it even easier for the whole world to talk for free.
  • Self-expression - broadcast your mood along with your online presence. Let your contacts know whether you're happy, sad, listening to your favorite music, available to talk or do not want to be disturbed.
  • Personalization - personalize your Skype identity with avatars or custom ring tones.
  • See your contacts' time zones - before you wake up your friends, family or colleagues take a quick glance to see what time it is in their location.
  • Group your contacts - organize your contacts by grouping your friends, co-workers or family members. Start conference calls, chats or file sharing with the whole group with just one click.
  • Real-time contact search - look up contacts in real-time by typing a name into the dialing field.
  • Skype toolbar for Microsoft Outlook - one-click calling to contacts from your Microsoft Outlook address book.

Skype 2.0 also offers users the ability to show their availability and initiate Skype calls directly from a blog or personal Web site. Skype has partnered with Six Apart, to let users of its TypePad personal blogging service integrate Skype presence into their weblogs.
