The incredibly popular, Skype which allows users to make voice calls over the Internet, will now be available on HDTVs. Skype has announced that in 2010, their software will be available on HDTVs of Panasonic and LG.  720p HD quality video calling will be delivered at thirty frames a second and with a resolution of 1280 x 720. People can now make HD voice+video calls on an HD TV with an internet connection, for example the LG 26 inch LCD and Plasma HDTV and the Panasonic 201 Viera Cast HDTV.

The software will already be embedded into Panasonic’s 2010 VIERA CAST-enabled HDTVs and LG’s new line of LCD and plasma HDTVs. Pretty cool, as you can now talk to your friends and family who live far away, right from the comfort of your bedroom or living room, without using a PC. But there’s a catch. A webcam is not included. Users will have to buy HD webcams, which Panasonic and LG will make, with prices up to $200.

But with the interest in HD TV escalating, this new gadget may work, and will surely be interesting to use.
