Skype’s iPhone app got a big update today, including support for making video calls to “a wider selection of Skype clients and devices.”
Specifically, iOS devices can connect to Skype for TV-enabled screens now. Of course, the Internet-connected TV will need to have a compatible app, so that should go at least for Samsung, LG and Panasonic Viera Cast/Connect displays. It will also depend on how much you want to see someone’s face blasted across a screen so large, but at least you have the option now.
If any of you decide to try this new feature out, please let us know how it went in the TalkBack section.
The Skype for iPhone app, which is also supported by the iPod touch and iPad (although you can’t get video calling with that last one just yet), is available for free in the iTunes App Store now.
