MacMice tries their hand at VoIP phones

I'm with Evan. Got an IPEVO Free-1 USB phone and will get 3 more for my cheap-ass family that never call me because they're broke!

"Doesn't anyone remember MacMice? The fraud ... the re-purposing e.g. monitor stands as "Newfangled Laptop Stand Pro (tm)"?"

MacMice isn't owned by Jack Campbell anymore, he sold it off to creditors. It is now owned by an almost equally as shady - Mike Aljouny of Mac-Pro Systems who doesn't warranty and of the DVForge/MacMice catalog that he purchased.

I use the IPEVO Free-1 USB phone with Skype on both a Mac and Windows box, it works great and is $35. Not sure about this one but it doesn't seem too bad in relation to the IPEVO.

C'mon Thomas, that's got to be a joke, right? You do know this company's track record don't you?

That's painfully ugly. I might only be interested if it works with Gizmo and SIP without costing a couple hundred for a wifi phone. I use the USRobotics for skype (requires a secondary plugin app with a windows style dumb dock icon matted to a white background), but nothing works with me for the Gizmo.

Evgeny, I used to use a bluetooth phone - I don't know if it's all the other wireless I have around, but people notoriously noted it was choppy and horrible - much better wired atleast for now and atleast for me.

A VoIP phone designed specifically for the Mac by those that have worked with the Mac before? This seems to have a lot of other companies beat out. And for so cheap. It's on my wishlist even though the design is just so so. If it performs well with a Mac, that's all that really counts right now.

The designer - was his earlier project the loading dock gate control for the Dunder-Mifflin warehouse?

It's nice they gave an East German designer who's been living in a damp cave for 30 years the opportunity to work on this new miracle material - plastic.

It's not as ugly as the Zune but maybe he knocked that off first so he's just getting warmed up.

Maybe he needs to start with something with a shorter track history than 100 YEARS behind the object ... maybe he should start with a bucket and work his way up from there ...

They did most of the numerical keypad correct ... I'd buy it at the $.99 store during no-tax days ...

The "Danger Phone" from MacMice. Good choice of name. :-D
