Thorn · 07-27-2006

From TechRepublic: "Skype announced three new Wi-Fi phones that will allow people to talk over the Internet for free. The phones come preloaded with Skype software for free Internet calls, allowing Skype users to make calls without being tethered to their PCs. The handsets will automatically synchronize to a Skype account and its contacts, and operate when in range of a Wi-Fi hot spot."

Interestingly, the Engaget article says that Skype won't show the actual phone, but the Sydney Morning Herald has a large picture of it.
