New Internet phone from Kensington
May 29, 2007 on 9:45 am | In Voice | 5 Comments
Kensington recently released their Vo200 Bluetooth Internet Phone, a handy little voice-over-IP (VOIP) phone that’s great for laptop users. It works with most major online internet phone providers, including Yahoo! Voice.
Shaped flat and sized like a credit card, the Kensington Vo200 fits into a laptop’s type I or II PC card slot for storage and recharging. A two-way swivel flap doubles as a mouthpiece and a speakerphone. And because the phone uses a Bluetooth connection, you can talk at distances of up to 30 feet away from your laptop. Use Yahoo! Messenger on your PC to make a call, then pop out the Kensington Vo200 handset and roam freely while you talk.
PC World rated the phone an 82 out of 100 (very good), saying “incoming audio was surprisingly clear” and “I got the 30 hours [standby battery life] and at least 2.5 hours of talk time before recharges were necessary”. Read the complete review at PCWorld.com or head over to Yahoo! Shopping to compare prices at several retailers.

As a Mac user and paid customer for several Yahoo services, I will not be supporting any more product from Yahoo. They have let all of us Mac users down and with hardly any support. Why would we venture in any new products or services or even continue to support Yahoo, when you have failed us. Not a good idea, until we start seeing better customer support for paid yahoo customers

Where is the Yahoo browser download? There are hardly any text lables associated with Yahoo online protection.

There is a option for making Yahoo Messenger the default phone program but not the default messenger client.
