SightSpeed 5 beta coming this week

I haven’t used SightSpeed in quite some time, though I got some advanced warning about the upcoming SightSpeed 5.0 beta being made available this Wendesday. Some highlights:

• Make and receive voice calls to/from the PSTN, including 800 number support
• Voice-only mode for PC to PC calling
• Enhanced contact list views
• Improved video codecs–the existing codec is pretty good, can’t wait to see what the new codec looks like!
• Ability to select video codec in use
• Ability to import from Plaxo (won’t be available until the final 5.0 release or a point release thereafter).

Once I get my hands on it, I’ll have to do a review.
