Skype 3.1.0.150 / Skype 3.2.0.53 Beta
Skype is the next phenomenon from the people who brought you KaZaA. Just like KaZaA, Skype uses P2P (peer-to-peer) technology to connect you to other users – not to share files this time, but to talk and chat with your friends. The technology is extremely advanced – but super simple to use... You’ll be making free phone calls to your friends in no time! Use Skype to give your friends a call and voice chat with them at the highest quality on the market.
Here are some key features of "Skype":
- Make free calls to anyone else on Skype, anywhere in the world
- See who you are talking to with free video calls
- Chat with up to 100 people in group chats
Conference call with up to four people for free
- Call ordinary phones with SkypeOut
- Superior sound quality
- Works with all firewall, NAT and routers – nothing to configure!
- Friends list shows you when your Skype friends are online and ready to talk or chat
- Super-simple and easy to use
- Your calls are encrypted “end-to-end” in order to safeguard your privacy
- Based on cutting edge peer-to-peer technology developed by the creators of Kazaa and Joltid
Requirements:
- PC running Windows 2000 or XP. (XP required for video calls).
- Internet connection (broadband is best, GPRS is not supported for voice calls, and results may vary on a satellite connection).
- Speakers and microphone — built-in or separate.
- A webcam, if you want to make video calls.
- We also recommend that you have at least 400 MHz processor, 128 MB RAM and 15 MB free disk space on your hard drive.
