Bundled VoIP Packages
A quick browse through the website of a relatively large computer store chain in the US and Canada shows that for back-to-school specials, they are offering a free USB Skype phone (worth $99), with $1200 in long-distance savings, when you buy a new desktop computer.
Oddly, the phone doesn't come with Skype preloaded. But hey, if it works and the phone offers some quality, how much trouble is it to download Skype? In fact, the phone might just be a peripheral that runs Skype software already installed on your computer.
Though the phone looks familiar, I can't tell from the website photo which brand it is. Though it's not mouse-shaped and it's not a wireless Skype phone. But if other computer manufacturers and stores are wise, consumers should start seeing more of these sorts of VoIP bundles.
