Skype Beta 2.6 Released with MAC EXCLUSIVE Call Transfer Feature

Wednesday, Apr. 11 2007 | Author: Michael

Word just came in over at Apple Gazette that the Skype team has released a new version of the popular VOIP software for Mac, and it is a HUGE improvement over the previous Beta.

Not only has the team behind Skype listened to all of our little complaints about the Mac version of the Skype client and fixed them in this new version (2.6), they have also included several features that were previously Windows only, and added a brand new feature that is a Mac Exclusive (for the time being anyway) called Call Transfer.

The previously Windows Only feautres include:

- Join public chats

- Chat typing indicator – see when others are writing a message

- Call any Skype Prime premium services provider and pay with Skype credit

- Automatic Updates – get new features and updates without having to go to Skype’s website to download

- DTMF tones for automatic answering services available also during Skype-to-Skype calls
