Asus Announces World's First Skype Video Phone
Every decent sci-fi novel has a videophone. Even Philip K Dick, not a man to mess with gadgets other than robot doctors in suitcases and flapples (flying cars), dropped the occasional vidfone into his stories.
Now, of course, everyone has a videophone, whether it's a 3G mobile or a webcam equipped desktop running Skype. But that hasn't stopped Asus announcing the World's First desktop video Skype phone, which even has a pulp sci-fi name: The AiGuru SV1.
The touch-screen box has everything you need to get connected: ethernet, 802.11 b/g, speaker and mic (plus a jack socket for a headset), a battery and a USB port. But when we look at the performance, we have to wonder why.
