The Day the Old Telephony Died

NewsFactor Network - Mac - Skype Rolls Out Mac, Linux Platforms

Skype is doing great, as one the pioneers in the VoIP field. Stable connections, few connection failures, unperceivable time lag, clear conversation voice, low price level...Try it.

"Skype has rolled out Mac OS X and Linux versions of its free voice over Internet product. Both versions include Skype to Skype calling and conference calling for up to five participants, as well as the pre-pay SkypeOut service, which allows users to call any landline or mobile worldwide at local rates."

"Other features include a contacts directory, instant messaging , call and message logs, presence -- that is, a way to view the status of contacts -- customization tools and file transfer."

"The Mac and Linux platforms place Skype in different user communities where they might not have had as much of a presence," says Frost & Sullivan analyst Jon Arnold, adding that there is a natural appeal for VoIP among Mac and Linux users as they tend to be more tech-savvy than average computer users.
