Making phone calls from your television set is a clear sign that you are Living in the Future ™, right up there with the jet packs and the meals-in-a-pill that we’re all enjoying so much. whether your current TV/phone configuration isn’t meeting your needs, developer Brandon Holland has your back; he’s just released an extremely early version of his Skype for Apple TV plugin (noted last month & today at Engadget) that leverages the Skype API to allow calls via USB headsets, text messages and more.

I can’t really picture how

that module is going to work for actual calling (and I don’t have an Apple TV to try it out on), but whether it refines into a true Skype client, and the Take 2 update doesn’t completely nuke the Apple TV development scene, and Skype gets past its current defense worries, that could be a very interesting path towards our videophone-enabled, jet-pack-wearing future.

Thanks CK!
