VoSky Call Center reviewed

The New York Times' David Pogue just posted his hands-on review of the $60 VoSky Call Center. You know, that device which attaches to your PC allowing you to use a plain ol' telephone as your Skype handset. Yeah, you can still use your phone for traditional landline calls or hit ## to dial Skype speed-dial numbers. What's really sweet though, is the ability to use the device to route Skype calls to and from your cellphone. Just dial your home phone, listen for the VoSky to answer, enter your passcode, enter your buddy's Skype speed-dial number and voila, you're connected (it's easier than it sounds). Yeah, the downside is that everyone that calls your home phone will hear the same request for your passcode which might get a tad confusing for grandma. The box also features a Skype Forwarding function so that any Skype calls received while you are away from your computer can be forwarded to any number of your choice. And a Call Return function alerts you when your Skype buddy comes on-line and then connects you with a single key press... nice. Be sure to check out the video review for a full dose of the effusive Mr. Pogue -- if you've never seen the man in action, then you're in for a, er, treat.
