N95 Voice Commands, for my apps?

Hi, i have voice commands set up, and when i go to add a new application that i want to be voice activated it only gives me a list of pre set applications, now i want to add a few applications that i have downloaded, such as skype and bliin, is there any way i can add them so that they too are voice activated thanks.

I think only the pre-installed applications are possible to be voice-controlled, but i won't bet on that.
But my question what i have now, where did u get Skype for the N95?
I am looking for this all the time.

Greetings

Well tom i am on contract with three, and i am on their x-series silver package, which includes skype. I downloaded it from threes web browser.

I dont know where you would get it if you are not using the three network.

There's no official general release of Skype for Symbian OS; some carriers like 3 provide a Skype-branded service but it's actually iSkoot, which uses the normal phone network to make calls, not the data connection. You can download an iSkoot trial from http://www.iskoot.com/ but note that it's not free because you're using minutes. Strangely I can't find an N95 client there, but I've heard of people using it, so maybe one for another Nseries phone?

Fring (http://www.fring.com/) uses your data connection to make Skype calls, and may be more like what you were thinking of.

Thanks for the feedback but my provider is FarEastTone, they won't offer Skype on their network.
I tried Frings already, but somehow crashed on my mobile, not sure what caused that. IM+ for Skype showed only my SkypeOut contacts, but not the Skype contacts itself.
So I was hoping there is maybe a release coming for N95.
