Belkin and Skype make calling from anywhere easier
If you don’t already know, Skype is offering free PC to landline calling until the end of this year (and maybe forevermore). Now all you need to make this convenient is a Skype enabled handset, taking your hands off of your keyboard and cutting the headset cord. Belkin’s Wi-Fi Phone gives you mobility to place free, unlimited domestic and international calls over the Internet to other Skype users as well as Grandma’s 100 year old, five digit phone number.
The Belkin Wi-Fi Phone connects to Wi-Fi hotspots around the world, especially the one in your home, allowing you to easily access your Skype account without turning on the computer, making it an ideal traveling companion. To make a call, simply use the on-screen color menu to locate your contact and view your online availability—just like using Skype on a computer. Don’t worry about eavesdropping as the handset has built in WPA and WPA2 encryption and is 802.11b/g compatible.
The Wi-Fi Phone (model number F1PP000GN-SK) will ship in North America for $189.99 in August 2006, with launches in Asia, Europe, and Australia to follow shortly.
