Every phone in your home is a Skype phone
Yesterday, Xtreme Technology Corporation announced a new feature in their Xlink device: Xconnect. While Xlink connects your cell phones to your home phones (allowing customers to use their cell line via their home phones), Xconnect allows you to use your home phones as Skype phones as well. The software currently works with Windows Vista only (eek!) but support for others is on the way.
With the software installed and the Xlink device connected to your computer via a USB cable - gosh I need more USB ports - all home phones will ring a distinctive tone letting users know a Skype call is coming in. The Skype caller ID is displayed on the phones as well, pretty handy.
Xlink connects to your cell phone via bluetooth and to your home phones by plugging into any phone jack. The unit is a huge help to those walking away from traditional landlines. Xlink sells for $99 for their base model for just cell lines.
