The Mobile Skype Product - Use That Old Nokia for Free Calls

Now here is a product that is sure to intrigue quite a few people. The Actiontec VoSKY device gives normal landline phones - and even mobile phones - the ability to utilize Skype's VoIP services without being near your computer with a headset on. Think of this as a Vonage-type service, which it appears to be. Except - much of Skype is absolutely free (to other Skype'rs, of course). And - use it with any mobile phone (regardless of technology or carrier) and have the ultimate wireless VoIP capability.

This is the kind of product that could transform millions ot customers from costly and tax-ridden traditional landlines into wireless VoIP users - just have broadband internet available for the easiest transition. If you're paying for that broadband pipe, why not use it to perform all kinds of telecommunications besides just computer use? It's all packets anyway.
