DUALphone: Skype and POTS in One
Here's one for all you guys who have wanted to try Skype for making VoIP calls, but didn’t want to give up the security of knowing traditional phone service was still there when Internet connectivity was down or for emergencies. The DUALphone combines Skype support and a POTS phone line into a single cordless phone. Plug one cord into your phone line and the USB cable into your PC, and you’re good to go. The display even shows when your friends are logged onto Skype and allows you to connect to them with a single button press.
RTX America is supposed to start taking orders for them today, but their site still says order taking will begin “soon.” No word on price.
