yakForFree for Mac OS X
Yak today announced the launch of a Mac OS X version of its paid services to make voice calls to traditional landline and cellular telephones worldwide at what it says are "exceptionally low rates."
"We are delighted by the early popularity of the yakForFree service offering and are excited to deliver the Mac download of the Virtual VideoPhone to this user community," said Charles Zwebner, Chief Executive Officer of Yak. "Mac users are recognized as early adopters of cutting edge technology, and we believe they will quickly see the value of yakForFree and we expect them to lead the way in the mass adoption of the technology."
"In addition to supporting Mac OS X, in the near future we plan to roll out a yakUnlimited service upgrade that offers local line replacement including unlimited local and long distance calling in North America for only $19.99 USD," said David Hurwitz, President of Yak's VoIP Initiatives. "Additional new features that yakForFree users can look forward to include a download for Mobile Pocket PC, a version that runs on Linux, as well as the development of an Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP)."
