Spymac will make it easy to find and connect with Skype for Mac OS X users around the globe through its upcoming Web Operating System v4, which the company today announced will be released on August 31, 2005.

"Spymac is thrilled to harness the power of Skype's free telephony by integrating it directly into our diverse community of Mac users," said Kevin April, CTO. "Our members are spread throughout more than 130 countries, and soon they will be able talk, instant message, transfer files, even hold conference calls free of charge. Truly, Skype for Mac OS X should be in every Mac user's dock, and this new relationship is a huge step towards that goal."
