Can you really get away with calling your phone the iPhone after apple already released a phone with the exact same name? Apparently so since Linsys decided to also call their phone an iphone, how wonderful? (Apparently they had this name all the way back in 1996 if you can believe it). Ok, well this Linksys phone isn’t all half bad, it focuses on the areas that Apple’s iPhone missed out on.
Linksys’ newest iPhones include the CIT400, a cordless phone with a base station that attaches directly via Ethernet to a network and comes preloaded with VOIP software from eBay’s Skype Internet telephony service. The phone allows users to make and receive Skype calls without having to turn on and use their computers.
The WIP320 also comes loaded with Skype software and is compatible with Wi-Fi so that users can make and receive calls on the phone from anywhere they can connect to a wireless access point.
Users can check their Skype contact list on the phones to see if someone they want to call is available. The devices support SkypeOut and SkypeIn, the services that allow users to make and receive calls with landline phones for a fee.
