Skype Calls Without the PC
This falls in the "I gotta have this gadget" category.
Skype announced Thursday (August 31, 2006) new cordless phones that will allow users of its internet phone service to make calls without a computer or Wi-Fi connection. Philips and Netgear will each offer phones preloaded with the Skype software that plug into an existing broadband connection (Philips VoIP841 shown here). Users will be able to make and receive calls without the need for a computer to be turned on.
The introduction of these new phones adds to growing number of Skype add-on accessories already available. Through its partners, Skype has already introduced handset phones that plug into a PC, Wi-Fi phones that connect users to the Skype service via existing wireless broadband connections, and docking stations that allow any standard telephone to be connected to a PC for use with the Skype service.
The new cordless phones are set to arrive in stores during the holiday season. Prices are expected to be around $150.
