Skype on Aug. 31 introduced a pair of cordless VoIP phones that work without being connected to a computer, via a DECT basestation that attaches directly to broadband and POTS lines. One of the two — the Philips VOIP841 — uses Linux as its embedded OS.
The phones, which use DECT as their wireless connection, integrate both normal and Internet phone calling. To accomplish this, each phone comes with a DECT basestation, which the user plugs into both a broadband connection and a “traditional” (aka “POTS”) phone line.
