Finally, a video skype for Mac was finally released. Though it is on a beta, this is a nice upgrade to my Skype 1.5 and this gives me the ability to use video conferencing to my boss while he is in New York. The good thing about it is now cross platform, so no worries with PC users. The new version has some features alike with Apple's iChat that I am using. The only difference about it "Its Free" no need to own a .Mac account. Skype enable more than 113 million users worldwide to make simultaneous video calls to any part of the globe and it continues to attract users. The video is crisp with clarity that anyone can enjoy. Just make it sure that you have a DSL connection to enjoy your conversation. In VoIP call, cross-platform is the new name of the game. What i really need is a tool that i can use in both PC and a Mac. Skype gives the solution to this barrier and I really love it.
