Dual-mode Skype & landline desk phone

Here's something I'd give space on my desk to – it's a dual-mode PSTN and Skype VOIP phone, with a poseable Day of the Triffids 320x240 resolution, 30fps VGA webcam to let your friends see your pretty face while you talk to them.

The camera is actually connected via USB, so if you fancy upgrading sometime in the future you can, and it's all USB bus powered so no need to scrabble around on your hands and knees under the desk for an outlet (you can save all that for the Christmas party).  Calls can be made either from the phone's keypad or from the on-screen interface, and both the computer and the phone will ring on Skype calls.  If I could improve it, I'd make it standalone rather than needing a connection to the PC, but I guess you can't expect too much for $56.88.
