The Ipevo Solo.1 is a Skype enabled desktop speakerphone that doesn’t require a computer. I think we can safely say that the Skype platform now rules consumer friendly VoIP hardware and services in a pretty significant way. This is a perfect product to introduce Internet calling to those more technophobic relatives, isn’t it? £107.99.
SOLO.1 bridges traditional telephone and VoIP by making Skype universally accessible to users that are less familiar with VoIP or PC, e.g. elderly or children. SOLO.1 makes Skype calls as easy as using the telephone, thereby overcoming the fundamental PC-bound behavioural and technological hurdle of VoIP. The handset has a large void that is a unique anti-echo design for eliminating common VoIP cross talks.
Give it a built in webcam and we’re *really* talking….
