Skype on the move!

As you may recall from Gee, Babs, I'm GaGa for Skype, I'm a fan of the new Voice-over-IP service and have an account there (look for mrnizz). Like a lot of nifty things on the Internet, Skype's about as useful as you can make it, and unfortunately, having a service available only on my home laptop isn't that useful. Unless I walk around with a microphone and earphones plugged into a laptop all the time, that is. Recent developments have changed that.

According to Endgadget, NetGear is releasing a new SKYPEPHONE... a phone that is designed specifically to connect to the VOIP service.



The phone isn't anything special, it appears to be a Sony Ericsson t630 phone with a new label on it. And the buy in price is steep. However, what you save over time might make it worth it to you.

HERE is the story from NETGEAR

I may look into this when the price drops.
