Technology occasionally freaks me out a little bit. I mean, when I really think about it. How the telephone works, how the Internet works, how television works - just the hugeness of it all. Such reflective moments usually occur on the announcement of a new product, one that makes me notice how fast everything is progressing. That's what happened this time anyway, when Netgear announced its WiFi phone for Skype. Netgear claims it to be "the world’s first wireless Internet phone", which is an astonishing statement. No longer will you need to use a computer to connect to Skype. You'll simply be able to make calls from any WiFi location. The phone's interface has been specifically tailored for Skype too, with the dynamic contacts list appearing on screen in much the same way as the full Skype client. Unfortunately, the phone does not have any web-browsing capabilities, and therefore can't be used in any WiFi hotspot requiring a web-based login.
