Samsung has announced plans to embed Skype software in its new Samsung LED 7000 and 8000 HDTVs.
"Voice calls will use Skype's SILK audio codec, which enables super-wideband audio quality," according to The Peninsula Online. "Using the TV's remote controls, consumers can create free Skype accounts, log into their existing accounts and navigate via a simple Skype interface accessible on the television's screens."
"Our consumers want their televisions to be a 'one-stop shop' for entertainment and communication delivered with the highest quality," says Samsung vice president of visual display Kevin Kyungshik Lee. "Including Skype on our TVs meets that expectation perfectly. We're thrilled that Samsung's consumers can now use our TVs to experience the rich video and voice communication that hundreds of millions of Skype users worldwide enjoy."
"Rather than heading to the computer to Skype with that Lithuanian girl from last summer, you could do it all from your living room," concludes infoSync's Mike Perlman.
