Skype 2.6 beta adds Call Transfer and more

Skype has released a new beta of version 2.6 for the Mac which brings a cool new feature: Call Transfer. The Mac is the first Skype client that lets you transfer an active Skype call "effortlessly to other friends and family on your Skype contact list." In addition, 2.6b adds some features previously available only on the Windows clients including:
  • Join public chats
  • Chat typing indicator - see when others are writing a message
  • Call any Skype Prime premium services provider and pay with Skype credit
  • Automatic Updates – get new features and updates without having to go to Skype's website to download
  • DTMF tones for automatic answering services available also during Skype-to-Skype calls
Skype 2.6b is available now for free download.
