Accton Readies First Wi-Fi VoIP Phone
Accton Technology of Taiwan has announced plans to release two Wi-Fi VoIP phones in the next few weeks. One model, the VM1188T WiFy SkyFone, will have the popular VoIP software program Skype pre-installed.
The idea behind the technology is to further divorce Internet protocols from a computer. The phones will meld traditional 802.11b/g Wi-Fi standards and existing Voice over Internet Protocol technology. The result will be a phone call that is, for all intents and purposes, free. (Any Wi-Fi charges will apply, of course, but the charge for the phone call will be nothing.)
