Silverman wants to extend these capabilities to a broader range of devices, including car navigation systems and television to create what he calls "ubiquitous communication" .. allows Skype users to make free calls and video between the PC and mobile devices, and can be used to call landlines and mobile phones for a small fee.
Finally give Skype users the ability to easily switch between devices with a button called, Silverman said, describing a scenario where an engineer began a conference call on your desktop PC at work, first go a cell phone and car navigation system, without interrupting the call. Currently, users can transfer calls to Skype contacts or call transfer software function, but this feature does not yet allow users to transfer calls between devices using the same account.
Earlier this year, Panasonic, LG Electronics and Samsung Electronics has announced its intention to install Skype on your flat screen TV. The company also recently announced a version of its software for Symbian OS, Nokia, added to the versions available for BlackBerry, Research In Motion, Apple iPhone, Google Android, Microsoft Windows Mobile Operating System. The company also goes beyond the PC, extending their attention to mobile devices and consumer electronics.
When the latest version of Skype is available for the iPhone -- giving users the ability to make free calls over a 3G data connection -- 5 million copies of the software have been downloaded during the first four days of its launch, has said. Currently, Skype has been installed on 12 million iPhones, or about 15 percent of all iPhones and iPod Touch provided by Apple, said Silverman.
