Polycom cut its teeth on conferencing hardware, and now it's teamed up with the oh-so-free Skype VoIP service for hands-free full duplex speakerphonage via a USB connection. There are two microphones strategically placed inside the unit, letting multiple people join in on the conversation.
Controls on the front let you launch Skype and initiate and hang up calls. There's also a headphone jack, and then there's the 22kHz sound quality which Polycom calls "CD-quality conferencing." No pricing was available yet; the company says it will be "shipping very soon."

If they're saying it's "CD-quality", then we get to hold them to task when the product doesn't deliver a stereo 44.1kHz signal. Please, marketing people, stop speaking out of your collective asses!
