Joanna Stern, over at LAPTOP, tipped me off to a cool new bundle that the Skype store is offering.
To kick off the opening of its new online store (skype.com/shop), the VoIP provider is offering a SMC WiFi phone, FON router, 500 SkypeOut minutes and a year's worth of free Skype voicemail for $159. That's about $50 off regular retail price.
Cool. The rest of her piece is a review of the bundle, and then she sneaks in the kicker at the end…
Win A FON/Skype Bundle! LAPTOP wants to spread a little Wi-Fi joy of its own. We're giving away ten FON/SMC Bundles. Just let us know the craziest place you want to set up Wi-Fi, and make Skype calls from. Enter now.
