Skype + Outlook = Skylook 2.0
Set for an October release is Skylook 2.0 which now is equipped with a new feature called Alerts and Forwarding. So now with this feature you are always in touch with important events while you are away from your computer. Now you would never miss your important contact coming on line, instant messages, missed call or missed Outlook number. In all of these events Skylook would inform you through SMS or phone. Depending upon the type of event, the content of the relevant messages would be forwarded to your phone via SMS or audio.

Just go through the power of Skylook:

* You use Outlook for all your appointments but you are often away from your PC, and you either don't have an Outlook compatible PDA or you aren't great at keeping it synchronized. Hence you often miss meetings. With Skylook, if a reminder Pops up when your Skype status is Away or Unavailable, or if a reminder pops up and is not dismissed within a couple of minutes, you will receive an SMS so that you do not miss that important meeting or other appointment.

* You desperately need to speak to Fred, but can't get in touch with him. His Skype status is offline and you cannot reach him on his mobile phone. You want to know as soon as he "resurfaces". You use Skylook to set up an alert that will call you on your mobile phone as soon as he comes on-line. Later, your phone rings - it's Skylook - it tells you that Fred is now online and tells you that you can press "1″ to call him now. You press "1″ on your phone and Skylook calls Fred on Skype and connects him through to your phone.

* You are sweating on an important email from your boss, but you have to go out. You set up a Skylook alert to forward any emails from your boss to you via your phone. Later, your phone rings - it's Skylook with your email message. Skylook reads the email to you using text-to-speech technology. After hearing the email, you are given the option to call your boss via Skype by pressing "1″ on your phone.

* You use Skype a lot for instant messaging, but you are often away from your PC. You check a box in the Skylook options dialog to tell it to forward all instant messages to you via SMS. From that point, if your Skype status is "Away" or "Unavailable" when you receive a Skype text chat message, the message is automatically forwarded to you via SMS.

* You don't want to be available all the time, so you don't set up Skype call forwarding, but you would like to know if anyone leaves you a voice message while you are away from your PC. That way you can choose which calls to return. You check a box in the Skylook options dialog to tell it to forward all voice messages to your mobile phone. Later, when you are away from your PC, your phone rings - it's Skylook with a Skype Voice Mail message. After hearing the message, you are given the option to call the sender via Skype by pressing "1″ on your phone.
