[...] ahead of Windows folks. We got screen sharing and cheap Boingo Wi-Fi access before anyone else with Skype 2.8 in January 2010. Windows wouldn’t get those features until May. Thanks [...]

The Skype I´d it just vanished and now I´m looking for a better one for Mac as it seems as there are not many functions as in Windows!

why is that?

Besides!..the credit I buy now doesn´t last much as the calls cost 4 times as much as they used to!

I keep on buying a new credit and the phone local calls are even more expensive that the Mobile calls ...how is that?

Where can I find the local prices fro Sweden...there must be something wrong somewhere!

The calls keep getting dropped in Skype. And then it shows the other user as being offline or 'call refused'. This did not happen on the earlier skype. And the incoming video quality seems to have reduced slightly as it appears more 'pixelated'.

[...] Om Malik | Friday, January 9, 2009 | 8:14 AM PT | 3 comments Skype, which has a long standing relationship with Boingo, is making it simpler (and easier) to get access to Boingo hotspots around the world. It announced a new plan that allows Skype users to pay for Boingo Wi-Fi hotspots using Skype Credit. The feature is called Skype Access and is currently available to Mac users as part of the Skype for Mac 2.8 Beta software. I upgraded just for this feature alone. Skype will support this on Windows and Linux versions of Skype later. You pay per minute for the access you use. Previously, you had to sign up for Boingo and got a special rate for using Skype. I thought it was a bad deal. I find Skype Access simpler and easier. (Related Post: Full review of Skype 2.8 for Mac on TheAppleBlog.) [...]
