I can’t believe it’s so early in the year and I already found my next must-have device, the IPEVO Fly-1. Previously, IPEVO released a fairly decent looking USB handset designed specifically for Skype called the Free-1, but the latest iteration has gone wireless (via RF), added a speaker phone, a mouse-like scroll wheel, and a 2.5-inch LCD menu navigation/avatar display. There’s no word on price, but I’m guessing it will sell for around $50 – $75.
Feature Highlights:
- Fully integrated with Skype
- USB 2.0 Plug and Play technology
- RF interface
- LED indicates USB connection state plus off-hook condition B
- 2.5-inch LCD display
- Handset: 173 mm(length)*46mm(width)*51mm(thickness) 119 g
- Cordless dock:95 mm(length)*69mm(width)*27mm(thickness) 143 g
- 16KHz sampling rate
- Speaker function
Note: IPEVO has also announced a Skype conference room phone called the XING.
