Philips introduces PC-free phone for Skype
Have you heard of Skype? It's that free international online phone communications system that lets you have all the benefits of having a phone, without having to use a phone. Unless, of course, you want to use a phone using Skype, but that would just kind of defeat half the purpose of Skype. (If I understand the concept correctly, that is.) Well, Philips Electronics announced that it would introduce the "world's first cordless DECT phone that can make Skype Internet calls" without being connected to a computer. The phone will be avaliable by the end of the year.

Skype is more focused on communication, it's not trying to replace the phone so much as encourage communication. Ideally (for them, anyway) everybody would be using the Skype service for calls. Which is free, making this a rather interesting idea. Should be fun to watch.
As long as this phone doesn't result in more weird, creepy voicemail messages left for me from people in odd-sounding countries, then I'll be happy.
