ZiPhone II brings fancy biz features to your cheap-ass VoIP calls

It might not look like much, but the ZiPhone II could save your upstart one-man office a bundle. You can connect it to your PC via USB for VoIP or to a regular phone line for old school communications and manage the phone via PC-based software. There's caller ID and boring stuff like that, but the phone also includes the ability to record phone calls at the touch of the button, along with providing background music for clients you put on hold. The software can track voice messages and a call log, and integrates with the "OneManBand" contact management software. Extra points if you use the $200 contraption to answer calls in your "secretary voice," and then swap over to a snazzy salesperson tone of speech when you pick up "on the other line."
