Skype 2.6 Beta is ready for Mac users

Are Mac users ready for another version of Skype? It's still not level with the Windows offering, but its here.

Skype 2.5 was released for Mac way back in November, with Skype for Windows currently sitting at 3.1. The announcement has just been made that the new version of Skype for Mac has been released. The main focus of this release was quality, but there are a few more features that snuck their way in.
One of the biggest features built into Skype on Mac is the transfer option. Users now have the ability to transfer an ongoing call to another Skype user. During an incoming call, clicking "More" in the call window and choosing a Skype contact that you want to forward the call to will transfer it.

Other additions include:

• Indicator when users are writing a message
• Public chats
• Pay with Skype credit seamlessly when making a Skype Prime premium call
• DTMF tones during Skype to Skype calls
