The Linksys CIT 200 Portable telephone allows users to make Skype calls without using a PC. It was a little odd to be interrupted mid-conversation by my familiar email notification. The person on the other end doesn’t hear it, but if you don’t want your pc bleating at you while you’re on the phone, you might want to disable sounds coming from various running programs.
Ericsson and cellular operator TeliaSonera will test UMA technology, which facilitates seamless handoffs between cellular and wireless LAN networks. This allows users to access wireless VoIP and cellular networks from a single instrument. Nokia too has been conducting tests with UMA.
