Many of us have heard about Skype, the “free” VoIP telephony service. However, most people feel a bit ridiculous speaking into a mic and having conversations blasted over computer speakers. You could get a headset and be plugged into your computer, but doesn’t that defeat the purpose of talking to someone (you could just as easily IM them)? We are mobile people and when we are on the phone we are multi-tasking. But alas, Linksys has solved the problem and Skype is freer than ever! Linksys recently put on the market a wireless telephone you use in conjunction with your Skype service. Thus, users still get the benefits of free SkypeIn calls to anywhere in the world, without having to be stationary in their house. Of course, this begs the question; how far outside your home will this be able to go? For now, we will have to wait and see.
