> New Skype Phone Is PC Free
> Topic: Phones
>
> Skype has announced the first cordless phone that doesn’t need a PC  
> to run the popular VoIP service. The Philips VOIP841’s base station  
> can be plugged into a landline or ethernet connection, letting you  
> make Skype calls as well as calls from your home phone number. It’s  
> not travel friendly like other Skype phones — because it uses DECT  
> rather than WiFi, you can’t use it with wireless hot spots, but  
> that’s a small quibble given that this is the first standalone  
> Skype handset. The phone will be released around Christmas this year.
