Skype has unveiled its VoIP killer application for Macs, adding new features like screen sharing and Skype Access, a great new Wi-Fi access tool which is powered by boingo with over 100,000 Boingo Wi-Fi spots for around $0.19 per minute.
The best feature I personally would like to mention is the screen sharing feature allowing you to see the screen of the other person you are communicating with.
Other than that, major improvements are unveiled in this release, these being:
-
Improved chat management: you can sort chats in the drawer and set priorities to chats
-
Quick Add: it’s now much easier to add people to chats
-
Mood message chat: see mood message updates from your friends as chat messages
-
Large profile pictures: just like Skype 4.0 Beta 2 for Windows, you can now use images of up to 256 x 256 pixels
-
Hidden avatars in incoming contact requests: a small minority of Skype users have profile pictures which others may find unpleasant, and so they’re now hidden by default in contact requests
-
Add notes to contacts: you can add notes to a contact in their profile window – handy for keeping track of who’s who.
