Verballs talking handsfree Skype phone

We guess it was inevitable -- long the bane of landlines, the novelty phone has finally found its way to VoIP, with the Verballs line of animated Skype phones set to invade desktops and annoy co-workers this fall. Available in five different characters, the Verballs flash and wave their hands when a call comes in and, most disturbingly, sync their lips to the callers voice -- which could well cause you to never look at your friends the same way again. In addition to acting as a handsfree speakerphone, the Verballs also include headphone and mic ports for more discreet conversation, and can be used in conjunction with MP3s and text to speech software, if you're so inclined. Plan on dropping £30 (about $55 US) when these critters launch in September.

WOW...Here we go again, why is it everything bad has to be black, like in this case. We have a little devil and what color do you make him black! Yea I know, you guys don't see what is the big deal. You know that is the hole problem,I am not going to talk long about this,not the place or time,but in that case it never is.

urm..the lil devil guy is brown...

Do you really have an issue with this being a certain color? I think that is making an issue out of this when there shouldnt really be one. They also have a blue devil and a pink one. You are right I dont have an issue with it because I dont tend to see people as colors.

That being said where are videos of these things in action?

Skype should make video calling so that there would be cameras in the verbal's eyes....that would make it even better

Roland,

I don't know which is worse; your poor spelling and grammar or your fucking ignorance.

[Roland @ Jul 24th 2006 5:28PM]

Hey guys I am sorry, and that won't happen again. This is not the place for that, I come here for all the cool stuff nothing else, I will keep my world issues to myself.

[jonnyboy @ Jul 24th 2006 5:35PM]

Roland,

Wow, you're an even bigger idiot than I originally thought.

[Roland @ Jul 24th 2006 5:43PM]

Hey, you must be the life of the party at the KKK rally... lol
Jonnyboy. I said I was sorry but not good enough for you.

Roland,

You think you're being funny with you racist comments. What you need to do is go back a reread everything I said. Not once did I say a racist comment. So quit with the asshole remarks. Asshole.
