Skype has released a beta version of its software for Windows which includes a screen sharing feature.
The Skype 4.1 release also reinstates some extras that were removed in the previous update - much to the disappointment of many subscribers.

Boingo Wireless has agreed a deal that will allow Skype users to access more than 100,000 Boingo Wi-Fi hotspots worldwide, and pay using Skype Credit.
The feature, called Skype Access, will be embedded into Skype as a core feature, first in the Skype for Mac 2.8 Beta software just released and then in versions of Skype for other operating systems sometime in 2009.
