Now THIS is smart. The folks at Kensington have created a WiFi VoIP flip phone that charges in the PCMCIA slot of your laptop. 3 hours of talk time, and 30 hours of standby. $90, when finally available.
Forget about those silly VoIP keys, and such that others are marketing. This is the real deal!

Do you have a link? From the picture I would have guessed this to be a Bluetooth handset to go with your computer, not a WiFi VoIP flip phone.
Cool. Must get one of those!
It'll be an excuse to fill up my PCMCIA slot which I never use.
