Skype going mainstream deux: Using Skype without a PC? Real Soon Now


Panasonic announced at the last CeBIT a cordless telephone that supports a regular analog telephone line (POTS) and can connect to Skype - without the need for a separate PC. The telephone is promised by Q3 of 2006 (RSN).
This device looks like the real McCoy. There has been a Dualphone available in Europe for well over a year that provides equivalent functionality but requires a PC connection via USB to access Skype. The Dualphone has been well received. Ironically Mobile Magazine displays the Dualphone next to a standard (non-Skyped) Panasonic Cordless handset.
The yet as unreleased Panasonic telephone should take Skype integration to the next level.
The Panasonic telephone will really simplify the addition of Skype to your business or residence that was described in the previous post Skype going mainstream.
