Soyo Enters Skype Phone Market
Soyo Group entered the VoIP phone market Tuesday with the introducton of the U201, a dedicated USB handset designed for Skype. Interestingly, Soyo apparently believes that users will prefer to use a wired USB phone but not use the PC to manage the call, as the $45.99 phone (when purchased directly from Soyo) includes a small LCD screen and the ability to manage calls from the handset.
The phone includes a full 16-bit sound card, as well as standard features including a 2.5-mm headphone jack and speakerphone, although the company didn't specify whether it was full- or half-duplex.
Other functions include personalized ring tone, caller ID, Skypeout balance display, call history and more. The phone also displays the SkypeOut number being dialled and, more usefully, the balance remaining in the user's SkypeOut account.
