On the mobile front, [BlackBerry 10](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/30/blackberry-os-10-review/) is still [waiting to get in](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/07/skype-blackberry-android/) on the Skype action, but the same can definitely not be said about the calling / messaging services on the more desktop-oriented platforms that are OS X and Windows. On this occasion, the application's new revision brings, most notably, an eGifting feature that's set to allow Mac and PC users to send [Skype](http://www.engadget.com/tag/skype/) credits to anyone they deem worthy of receiving them -- so long as they have an account set up, of course. Skype's also slightly redesigned the top toolbar on [the Windows edition](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/10/skype-6-1-for-windows-outlook-integration/) to make it more of an all-around hub for accessing "Home," "Creating Groups," and "Adding Contacts," while, in version 6.2, the OS X app gets the ability to send one-way SMS without the need for number verification. Both updates are available now, so hit that source link if you're interested in checking out the novel features.
