Buffalo Presents The New WSKP-G Skype Phone

Are you ready for a new Skype phone? More and more Skype phones have been released lately, and Buffalo joins in by releasing yet another one.

After releasing the Skype USB keyboard and handset, Buffalo is now presenting WSKP-G, a Skype device that, unlike some VoIP handset can work from any WiFi hot spot, without requiring a host computer with Skype software. WSKP-G has an average of 2.5 hours of continuous talk time and can be recharged directly through either an AC adapter or a computer's USB port.

Buffalo's AOSS (AirStation One-Touch Secure System), handles WEP, WPA and WPA2 support enable secure syncronization of the device. The WSKP-G should become available in Japan at the middle of the following month and will have an estimated price of ¥ 24,100 ($204).

Since Japan and Koreea usually get to keep all the 'goodies', a release in other parts of the world has not been discussed yet and it wouldn't come as a surprise if it remained Japan-exclusive for a while.
