Recently Skype upgraded their shop platform. This upgrade was done in phases and the initial launch in USA did not include the many interesting Skype add-on applications (called extras).
Now Skype have completed the renovation and put the new catalogue live. There are now a total of four application categories:
- Business Extras
- Collaboration Extras
- Expression Extras
- Productivity Extras
Of our products the following are listed:
- Business: PamFax (Windows & Mac)
- Productivity: Pamela for Skype (currently not yet all editions)
- Expression: RichMoodEditor for Skype

We have switched to a new provider for sending faxes to Poland. In the past we noticed that the quality level of sending faxes to Poland was not what we require – the failure rate was above average. To fix this a new provider has been found and the quality of service should be back to our normal, high quality service levels.

The new year at PamConsult starts with a new employee: Dennis. As this is the second Dennis in our team, we have to figure out how to distinguish them both 
Dennis formerly worked for companies like German Telecom. He will do customer support and administration of our company’s infrastructure from our development office in Ebstorf, Germany.
Welcome in our team!

We are happy to annouce the start of a new PamFax year with a price reduction for zones 3 to 7. As we habe mentioned when we started PamFax, we will pass on any reductions in telecommunication costs to our users.
This change benefits users sending to countries in these zones and also people sending to service numbers (mostly zone 7).
Standard rate savings in these zones are on average 22,8% and our Pro Plan subscribers save 13% (less because we had lower rates there already).
The new standard rates are shown below.
The new Pro Plan rates are shown below.

Based on user feedback we have released an update for Pamela for Skype. The update was released on December 23 but I did not have time to write a blog post due to the Christmas holidays.
The changes in 4.6.0.44 are:
Change: Added 1680×1050 recording resolution to the video recording options
Bugfix: Video recording could error at about 4 minutes into a recording
Bugfix: Disabling video recording disables audio recording
Bugfix: Quitting a Skype call via Skype could result in the recording not being saved
The bugfixes are really important, they address issues some users have been experiencing since we launched 4.6. I suggest you update by opening Pamela, clicking on “Help” and then “Check for updates”.

We have just updated mceWeather today to version 3.3. The changes we made:
- no more Ads when exiting the program
- added a new style “scendix” which is a very nice new skin from our designers optimized for display on TV
- improved performance: the whole program now behaves pretty much faster then before
This is a screenshot of the new style (go to “Settings” to change your mceWeather to this new look):
You do not need to download anything to get this new version. Just restart mceWeather on your Media Center and you will see the new version.

I know the word “Christmasnized” does not exist, but it seemed to me the simplest and shortest description of what happened today 
.
The team has updated the websites of PamFax and Pamela with some Christmas dressing. The holiday season is approaching fast, so here you go. I hope you like the updated header and footer (scroll down the page!).

Yes, it’s nearly Christmas again! So why don’t you take the advantage to send a christmas fax to your friends and family?
We have just added a special Christmas cover template to PamFax:
So this might be a very good time to send a warm and personal greeting to all the ones you love. Perhaps you can also send a fax to Santa Clause. Anyone has his fax number?
