MediaCentral offers Skype integration

Equinux today released MediaCentral 2.1, an update to the media solution for Mac OS X offering seamless Skype integration, as well as an active on-screen display with dynamic content. The software is designed to turn a Mac into a home theater system with support for numerous audio, video, IP TV, TV, IP radio, games, and multimedia formats. MediaCentral 2.1 displays dynamic background information for the current media in a new translucent window, improves reliability of initializing TV devices, supports faster TV channel switching, and enables users to resume DVD playback from the last viewing point. Users can disable unneeded features, and can place commonly used functions at the top of the main navigation area. MediaCentral 2.1 is priced at $30, and requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later with an active internet connection.

Skype?

I'm having difficulty with the idea of integrating Skype into a media center -- I turn OFF my phones when I'm enjoying a movie. On top of which, IF you're going to integrate a communications protocol into this, why not iChat, or perhaps Gizmoproject, which at least uses the SIP standard?
