Ipevo free.1 USB phone for Skype

Juniper Foo | Jul 04, 2006

We're sold on Ipevo's Skype handset. Having had a good whack at the handset over at the Kogen booth during the recent CommunicAsia2006 tradeshow, we're impressed by its solidity. It doesn't hurt that this will project designer chic while sitting on your table. That largish hole in the base isn't just for looks, either. We're told it's meant to eliminate echo effects, while onboard software ensures the Ipevo picks up only voice and not background music on your PC. Though the tagline may say "keeping in touch the free.1 way", the Ipevo is anything but free. Prepare to cough up S$88 in order to yak on a tethered, if handsome-looking, Skype handset.
