Coolest Things

Some might say this is the coolest thing ever (or... k00135+ +h4ng EVAR!); it is so completely geeky. I will buy a pocket protector, tomorrow, if I can find one.

It's a Belkin WiFi Phone -- now how ironic is that? WiFi uses the same radio spectrum frequency that the older cordless telephones use. Yet this acts like a wireless phone on steroids. You can use it anywhere you would have WiFi signal that you could connect to with a notebook, etc. -- any open net (or even a WPA net, if you have the key!), and you can be Skype-in', yo.

As you can see, it's slightly larger than the newer cell phones -- and make no mistake: This is not a cell phone.

Still, a good investment for me. Now I can Skype without worrying if LarryElvis is going to chew through my headset cable. :)

HOWEVER, THIS was NOT the COOLEST THANG I SAW TODAY!

That honor goes here:

Oh, Rev. Meaker, you, sir, have great, shiny, heavy ones. I genuflect, appropriately.

So aside from price and color, what is the difference between the Belkin and Netgear phones?

barry from AK -- About $20, as far as I can tell. :)

This is early-adopter stuff. It worked QUITE well this evening, though. Sign onto Skype and I'll try to place a call... or call me before midnight CST.
