Skype reaches the living room via HDTVs

Because huddling around the computer screen is just too 2008? Or maybe you’re just itching to see your loved ones on your nice 60" Plasma in high definition. I’m impartial on this type of technology, but I don’t have people I regularly video conference with.

Skype is embedding its service on a bevy of HDTVs, the company said Tuesday, adding that it is supporting high-definition video calls in the 720p HD format on PCs. With the moves, the free online phone service is aiming to make video conferencing something that can be conducted from the living room while making high-definition connections mainstream.
