The IP Thinking VoIP phone: get your Skype on with a block of wood

If you're not sure what's going on here at first glance (or second or third), you're not alone. The story seems to be that this is a IP Thinking VoIP phone, it runs Windows Mobile 2003 SE, and can do the Skype thing, or whatever Windows Mobile apps strike your fancy, including video playback on the 3.5-inch QVGA screen. Therefore we would have to deduce that the odd-shaped block glued to the left side of the unit is the Bluetooth handset, which seems to push against the acceptable boundaries of mod design, but we'll leave that for you to decide.

This looks pretty cool, I think. What would be nice would be to have the screen as an alarm clock / photoframe as well.

Looks really sharp to me. If I were in the market and had a lot of excess moolah, Id be looking at this one a little more closely.
