Review: Note to Softpedia users: We are aware that the version of Skype that we list has a different version number than the official - this is due to the fact that we prefer to distribute the toolbar-free version of Skype, rather than the official version. Computers are no longer used exclusively for technology enthusiasts and developers, as they also can be used for graphic design, film playing or chatting with friends. For the latter purpose, Skype is certainly one of the most popular tools used every day by millions of people worldwide. This software offers users the ability to make calls through the Internet, with high sound and picture quality, if your internet connection is good enough. Before you can make any calls, users must enter their username and password, or create an account if you do not have one. Once this step is completed, the contacts can be searched and added to initiate a call, which can be either voice or mutual written (emoticons also supported). The most appreciated feature of Skype is probably video calling, which enables users across the world to contact their friends and see them, fo; rutsatt that they have a webcam. Even if the call is between two Skype accounts, it is free, because the fees are used only when you call a real phone number. In addition to chat, Skype supports conferences (more than two users can participate in the same call), file transfer and screen sharing. Moreover, their settings easily customized to ensure the users privacy preserved. The conclusion is that Skype is a must have application for those who chat regularly or want to stay connected with their friends while they can see and hear them.
