in the mail and today the Internet-communications company goes and drops a new version of the free app for Mac OS X users: Skype 2.5.

The beta’s been around since mid-November, but the final version was officially released today. And aside from a slightly updated look, there’s a new birthday reminder feature and the abilities to send SMS messages to any mobile phone in the world and hold conference calls with up to nine other people have been added.
