Camera titles: FREETALK-7170 HD Pro and FREETALK-7181 HD Pro Plus . In addition, the latter model is equipped with four directional microphones with a range of 4 meters, which will provide, along with Skype beamforming algorithm, crystal clear sound and solve the “echo” problem. The other model is only stereo. Also, streaming requires 800 Kbps connection to the outside world.
FREETALK HD PRO - $ 120
FREETALK HD PRO PLUS - $ 140
Both cameras are promised to be released for sale in March 2010 in the Skype Store.
Also, the company has developed a cheaper model for home users who want to enjoy quality, but not for such money - the FREETALK HQ Everyman Webcam , which is available today (in fact, they are not available in the store as of January 6, 2010 ) in the same Skype Store priced at $ 40
