The all-famous Skype is finally coming to us in useable form - a cordless phone! Apparently Linksys is working with Skype and has invented a phone that will be able to recieve,send calls via skype as well as access your contact list and such. Sounds pretty cool to me.

See full detail: The Skype Phone

I thought a cordless phone had been out for ages for Skype? Almost bought a couple a few weeks ago, but decided to keep the webcam for talking to parents in Cyprus.

Cheers

Depends if it's shaped like a small welsh village. But then you would need like really long arms to do that german thingy (Hymlick?). And you probably couldn't physically pump the blood around your body to do that. Unless they invented like an artificial heart that had a tiny nuclear power station in it. And you couldn't really see the greens agreeing to that one now could you? But then if we converted them to the nuclear way, then nothing would be stopping us.... apart from perhaps the fact that nowhere could supply that much wool (for our jumpers). Not even Wales (again) multiplied by New Zealand. Unless a few Yorkshire sweatshops (see Soapyfish, she loves it) could crank some serious woolage out. Assuming a big enough edition of "Knitting weekly" could be made to produce the jumper, and my mum wasn't busy that week. Who I can contact in Cyprus once their internet connection is setup. By using Skype......

Rats....
