At MacWorld’s Showstoppers event last night, Skype unveiled its latest Mac client (version 2.8) with better audio quality and 2 new features currently not yet available for the Windows version:
- Screen sharing that lets users share their desktop, data and application;
- And Skype Access which lets users seamlessly sign-on to Boingo’s global Wi-Fi HotSpots in 20 seconds or less and on a minute base price, using your Skype credit. Forget the expensive hourly, daily or monthly pass.
According to Skype Access director Linnar Viik, the cost for the service will be around 14 cents a minute or $10 per hour. Skype Wi-Fi HotSpot service has been in the works for over a year. “And it’s so natural, Skype and Internet,” says Viik.
I wouldn’t have used it in any other ways
