Last Wednesday Skype released five new toolbars - two are entirely new while three are significant upgrades of previous versions. They incorporate several features reported in my interview with Peter Kalmstrom at the Skype Developers Conference. This brings to six the number of Toolbars released in June; when you you look at the feature list you can see the impact of Peter's having a much larger developer team as a result of the eBay acquisition.

At this time I will point you to them; as I am on vacation, reviews will be forthcoming during July:

Skype Email Toolbar for Outlook 1.0.0.43

Skype Email Toolbar for Outlook now incorporates:

  • An iconic link to PayPal
  • Initiation of conference calls, via both Skype and SkypeOut, by simply selecting multiple Outlook contacts and clicking on the Conference button
  • Attachment file transfer: directly send a file from an email attachment to any Skype contact
  • Use of the Phone Number Recognition algorithm designed for the web Toolbar and also available as an API to simplify the recognition of phone numbers both in Outlook Contacts and email content.
  • Many other improvements to be discussed in a more detailed subsequent review.
