Janky V688 PMP does Skype, too?
Yeah, we've seen a Skype phone and a PMP awkwardly merged into one before, but this unit adds its own layer of sketchiness for good measure. The V688, supposedly offered up by Shenzhen Went Wide Shine Electron Company, claims to boast a 1.8-inch display, MP3 / video playback, USB connectivity, an FM radio, rechargeable Li-ion and an integrated Skype phone. Per usual, we wouldn't expect this piece to posses any signs of expert craftsmanship, but you can toss over an inquiry if you're really curious as to what it will run you.[Via PMPToday]

now THAT's creativity and technology at its forefront - a device that is slimmer if you look from it sideways than if you do from top/bottom :O

The glass prism that makes it look thin and shiny is still under development.

No. I prefer to let all those VoIP-to-phone companies compete for my business without me having to have a separate app for each one.
...and I prefer to have the source.

And don't forget about Sony's Mylo, another strange pmp/skype gadget...
