Hawking Unveils Net-Talk Internet Phone For Skype

Hawking unveiled its plans to begin shipping the Net-Talk Internet USB Phone. The new Internet Phone allow users to make private calls online from a handset, forgoing the need to speak and listen from an external microphone and speaker set.

The HNT1 works by interfacing with Skype, the most popular VoIP software (150,529,055 downloads as of 8/18/2005) for making free calls over the Internet. The included Net-Talk software allows the Internet Phone to control Skype's most commonly used functions, eliminating the need to access the program with a computer. As long as the HNT1 is connected to a computer with a USB cable, the Net-Talk Internet Phone can remotely control Skype.

The Hawking Net-Talk Internet USB Phone installs easily onto any desktop or laptop computer with a broadband or wireless access to the Internet. Just plug-and-play the unit into a USB port, install the Net-Talk software, and the Hawking Internet Phone is ready to go.

The HNT1 Net-Talk Internet USB Phone is expected to be available September 10th, 2005 via retailers, direct marketers, e-commerce sites, and distribution channels at an (ESP) Estimated Street Price of $59.

The Hawking Net-Talk Internet USB Phone is designed to be a versatile and robust solution for making calls on the go. Besides Skype support, the phone is fully compatible with most messaging software clients with voice capabilities. A few of these include AOL's Instant Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, and MSN Messenger. The HNT1 doubles as a microphone and speaker unit for playback and recording of audio content and also has auxiliary jacks for plugging in audio accessories. The HNT1 comes with advanced features including a backlit LCD display, volume and mute control, echo-cancellation, and 4 user-selectable ringtones.

Using Skype via PC from Mobile Phones

imFONE usb device allow you to connect VOIP software in your pc with the mobile phone. Upon connected, you can make VOIP calls from your mobile phone directly as long as you are within the 50m. Apparently it is only compatible with Samsung E3700, V6900, and LG KF 1000 now

When you are oversea, you could definitely bring along the ImFone and your phone together. Making VOIP calls is much cheaper than roaming. (provided you have a good connection)
