Skype For Mac OS X, version 2.7 Beta Is Out
Skype has released a New beta version for Mac OS X. It contains the usual hot fixes and Bug Fixes but there are some really good stuff as well. Mos prominent are;
Leopard compatible – if you have the latest Mac OS X 10.5 then you can use Skype with confidence.
Better video resolution – your video conversations are now set at a whopping 640 x 480 pixels by default with up to 25 frames per second. If your webcam can handle this resolution you’ll soon be appearing in an improved and bigger format on friends screens. (If the receiver is using a pre-2.7 version of Skype for Mac, or if their machine cannot handle 640x480 video resolution (like G4 or G5 Macs that are slower than 1.25 GHz), the sender’s Skype software will scale the video feed down to 320x240 pixels (or even 160x120, if needed).)
But if you’d rather stick with public versions Skype that have a lot of beta wrinkles ironed out, we’ve just issued a Leopard-friendly hotfix to the public version of Skype 2.6 for Mac. (Skype blog announcement point you to Windows Version.)
