Users can now download a beta version of Skype 4.0.  This version let users import their contacts information from email software and services such as Outlook, Outlook Express, and Yahoo Mail.

“With Skype 4.0, we’ve really focused on making it simple to use. We’ve looked at the user experience from the time someone hits Skype.com all the way through making their first call, and every aspect of that we’re focusing on making it incredibly simple,” said the director of Windows product management for Skype, Mike Bartlett.

“It’s far richer and far more engaging than anything you’ve seen to date,” he added.
