Skype 2.6 for Mac Now Available


Skype has released Skype for Mac 2.6, the latest version of its communication software for Mac users. For the first time, Mac users will be able to enjoy a new Skype feature before it's available to Windows users.

Specifically, Mac 2.6 offers a new call-transfer feature that is exclusive to the Mac platform. Users can now select More > Call Transfer to transfer an ongoing call to another Skype user on their contact list. It is obvious how this will appeal to small business users, especially lone eagles and remote personnel.

Beyond the exclusive call-transfer feature, Skype for Mac 2.6 incorporates a number of nice Skype features that were previously only available on other platforms.

Mac users now can join public chats. There is a chat typing indicator. Skype Prime offers the ability to call a premium-service provider and pay for their advice and knowledge with Skype credit.

Automatic updates are automatically pushed to end users and DTMF tones for automatic answering services are available during Skype-to-Skype calls.
