Many analysts and clever people have said that if VOIP is to take off in any reasonable form with the “common man” then it must be easy to use and easy to ask for. Perhaps the latter is most important; after all, if you don’t know what you want then it’s tough to get it. [...]
In a world of machine-washable suits, non-stick pans and inflatable cart-horses, it’s perhaps unsurprising that the latest “we’ll make life easier” gadget to invade our homes and suckle at our electricity supply is a consumer VOIP speaker-phone. After all, there’s so much online shopping, online chatting and online general-living to be done, where’s the time to [...]
Bargain hunters get your gear ready! Black Friday is coming closer each second. We just received a tip that Circuit City is offering $200 shopping spree in store when you sign up for a year of Vonage VOIP service. I don’t think this is a great deal for everyone, but those who are planning to [...]
It’s been a week of VOIP, with reviews of cordless DECT phones for Skype and Windows Live Messenger as well as the Tovo WiFi/GSM phone to be sold by UK supermarket Tesco, and now UberGizmo have a review of a PC-phone bridge. Designed to allow you to use a normal phone to access Skype on [...]

A lady I work with uses a Tablet PC to interview and assess clients; it means has all the forms she might possibly need on-hand, without carrying a massive file around. I’m not sure what she’d say to me if I suggested she store her keys and make-up in it - probably ask me if [...]
If you’re looking for a VoIP handset but have an aversion to cords, Keyspan might just have the answer with their VP-24A Cordless VOIP Phone; plus, it’s one of the few phones that works with both PC and Mac.
I’ve never really been all that impressed by Skype phones that connect via USB. My feeling is that, if VOIP is to properly take off with non-techie people, the proviso that “it’ll only work if your PC is turned on” just isn’t acceptable. So I’m pleased to see that the small group of ethernet phones [...]

Essentially, the USR9630 is a base station that connects to both traditional phone line as well as Skype through a USB port on a PC.
