As previously mentioned here, the latest dual core laptop from Dell will have Skype pre-installed on the system. I’m not going to talk about the laptop again, since the detailed review is already out. But instead, let’s check more detail about the Skype built onto the M1210 laptop.

The pre-loaded Skype software inside the XPS-M1210 laptop is not a coincidence. It’s actually a part of the new agreement from Dell and Skype which every now and then, all new Dell’s computers will have a complete mobile communication features, including Skype, inside. Along with the software, other features will be included, such as noise-isolation earbuds, webcam, and mobile broadband capability.

“As the leading notebook supplier, Dell is committed to delivering cutting-edge technology that provides voice and video connectivity virtually anywhere.“, said Brett Faulk, Dell’s worldwide marketing director, “Those using Skype enabled PC’s best of all will be able to conduct worldwide calls with no worry about the cost or distance.“.

Skype itself is one of the most internet voice and video phone software (VoIP). Back in September, eBay bought it for a $2.6B worth of deal. Recently, Tellme Networks announced that they have several new consumer voice applications ready for Skype. Consumers can reach these services by IP transport to reach the VoiceXML browser.
