Skype coming to the AppleTV

AppleTV + Skype

These days, it seems like everything you own needs some sort of Skype integration. Your fridge, your phone, and now, your AppleTV. A Canadian teen has hacked the device to get it working with a wireless keyboard and a GPS unit. The idea is to use your AppleTV as an in-car media center. Apparently, later this month, he will be releasing an update which will use the Skype API to allow you to make Skpe calls from your car. You can use a bluetooth headset or a skype phone, and dial the number with the Apple remote. Pretty cool, but I can imagine how many accidents this will cause. Imagine trying to dial with an Apple remote at 60 miles an hour.
