Skype has announced that it has teamed up with In Store Solutions, a global ecommerce provider, to make available the Skype Online Shop to users in Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Australia and New Zealand.

Designed with user friendliness in mind, the Skype online shop enables users in Asia Pacific to browse and buy a range of Skype Certified accessories and hardware from In Store Solutions, confident that every item has passed Skype’s quality and performance certification tests. Users can also enjoy the convenience of having items shipped for free, directly to them.

“We are excited to extend the Skype shop in Asia Pacific and make available to our users Skype Certified accessories which can enhance their user experience by broadening how and where they use Skype,” said Dan Neary, Asia Pacific general manager and VP for Skype. “This further illustrates our commitment to our users, providing them with a richer Skype experience and allowing them to continue their Skype conversations wherever they are.”

The Skype Shop offers a range of products for sale by In Store Solutions including the best selling FREETALK Wireless headset and Buddy web camera, with more products to be added as the shop develops. Users who have upgraded to the all-new Skype, can also easily access the web store from within Skype’s 4.0 client for Windows, by clicking on the “Shop” tab.
