Ready for a new technology? Skype’s engineers have begun working with an interesting WiFi phone prototype. What is it anyway?

So it’s a piece of hardware that you can use to make Skype calls on a WiFi network without needing to use a computer

Quite interesting isn’t it? And it works just like a normal cellular phone, as further described below.

It looks and feels much like a recent mobile phone and the basic controls for using the interface are also similar. So if you’ve used a mobile phone before, you’ll have no difficulties to get going.

After turning it on, you must sign in or create a new Skype Name before you can do much else. Obviously, if you log on with an existing Skype Name, you immediately have your full contact list available and can start calling right away.

The contact list is very similar to what you have on a computer. You see if people are online or not, can view their profile or add new contacts.

Hopefully, the price will be cheaper enough for me to buy it :p
