Linksys, a division of Cisco Systems, is well known as a manufacturer of voice, wireless and networking hardware for consumer and business uses. One of their latest forays into this territory is their newest Voice over IP (VoIP) solution known as the WIP320 iPhone (not to be confused with an Apple product) Wireless-G Phone for Skype.
At first glace the WIP320, priced at $199.99, looks like a regular candy-bar style cell phone with its 1.8” TFT color LCD screen and number dialing/function keys. Instead of accessing a cellular signal however, this Linksys iPhone makes use of 802.11 b/g wireless technology, commonly found in wireless hotspots at places such as Starbucks and airports, to make phone calls using the Skype VoIP communication service.
