Got a phone? Got a PC? Then if you get VIVOphone's VoiceKey, you've got free phone calls to anyone who uses Skype or VIVOphone's own VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) service. The VoiceKey makes VoIP about as easy as it can get — just plug it into your desktop or laptop's USB port, plug the phone into the key, and you're done. You may even convince your technophobe roommate/spouse to use it, since you don't even have to use the PC at all to make or receive calls; just pick up the receiver and start talking/dialing. It's, like, you know, a phone. If you enjoy keeping people on hold, the key will let you connect to nine people at once, and you can conference up to five of them together. Not bad for something just a bit bigger than a flash drive. — Peter Pachal
