Skype 5.0, the big one that allows group video calling, is out of beta for Mac and is available as a free download. Before Mac users get too terribly excited, here's the catch. Group video calling, with which you can call up to 10 people at the same time, costs. It'll be free for a week but after that it's $4.99 (approx Rs. 228) for a day pass and $8.99 (approx Rs. 410) for a month pass. Customer support is included with these subscriptions. When group calling, only one of the callers needs to be a subscriber.

There's no integration with Facebook, showing status updates like the Windows version however. Skype says the minimum system requirements for installing this latest version is a 1 GHz intel processor, the Mac must be running at least Mac OS X 10.5.8 and must have 100 MB of free disk space. This is a video Skype produced to demo its new version for Mac. |
