<p>SKYPE PUTS MAC USERS FIRST WITH FRESH FEATURES IN NEW RELEASE</p>
<p>LUXEMBOURG, May 16, 2007 -- Skype today released Skype for Mac 2.6, the<br />
latest version of its communication software for Mac users. In addition to<br />
improved quality, stability and more features, the company has done<br />
something entirely new: for the first time, Mac users will be able to enjoy<br />
a new Skype feature before it's available to Windows users.</p>
<p>Skype has introduced a new call-transfer feature that is exclusive to the<br />
Mac platform. Users can now select More ) Call Transfer to transfer an<br />
ongoing call to another Skype user on their contact list. This will be a<br />
useful feature for businesses and families alike.</p>
<p>"Mac users have very high expectations," said Carter Adamson, Skype's<br />
general manager of desktop products. "So we take the time to get things<br />
right. Whether it's quality, stability or choice of features, we try to<br />
deliver exactly what is important to them. With 2.6 we have launched a new<br />
feature on Mac first, demonstrating our commitment to this fast-growing<br />
segment of Skype users."</p>
<p>"The power, simplicity and security of Mac OS X and hardware innovations<br />
such as the built-in iSight cameras in most of our Macs make it easy for<br />
companies like Skype to create exciting new products and features for Mac<br />
users," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer<br />
Relations. "We're thrilled that Skype is offering its brand new<br />
call-transfer feature to the Mac community first." </p>
<p>Beyond the exclusive call-transfer feature, Skype for Mac 2.6 incorporates<br />
a number of nice Skype features that were previously only available on<br />
other platforms:</p>
<p>* join public chats</p>
<p>* chat typing indicator: see when others are writing a message</p>
<p>* Skype Prime: call a premium-service provider and pay for their advice and<br />
knowledge with Skype credit</p>
<p>* automatic updates: get new features and updates without having to go to<br />
Skype's website</p>
<p>* DTMF tones for automatic answering services available also during<br />
Skype-to-Skype calls</p>
<p>Other improvements include tweaks in the way Skype handles birthday<br />
reminders and other notifications.</p>
<p>Skype for Mac 2.6 is available for download at skype.com. To use Skype, a<br />
broadband internet connection is needed.</p>
<p>About Skype</p>
<p>Skype sets conversations free by providing new and easy ways to stay in<br />
touch over the internet. Millions of people every day make free<br />
Skype-to-Skype voice and video calls and send instant messages using our<br />
software. Some pay a little per minute for long-distance and international<br />
calls to phones and mobiles and for SMS, voicemail and call forwarding, or<br />
they buy plans that give unlimited calls nationwide.</p>
<p>We certify and sell hundreds of hardware products from over 50 partners and<br />
work with third-party developers to create software to extend Skype's<br />
functionality. Skype has been downloaded more than half a billion times and<br />
over 196 million people from almost every corner of the globe have<br />
registered.</p>
