I *need* one of these

Well not quite coz I don?t have the space in SF, but if I did, man, this looks so cool? 🙂



Well it?s actually not all that useful coz when I?m on a multi-hour Skype voice call I am usually also on iChat screen sharing or at least doing work at the same time so I need to be handsfree, but this sure looks damn cool.

The solid walnut and brass PAPPA*PHONE mixes old and new with profound simplicity. This luxury phone, hand crafted in Montreal Canada works as a Skype phone with MAC + PC (via the USB adaptor included)

* – Plugs directly into MAC + PC
* – Plug-and-play, no need for software installation
* – Works with all VoIP services (Skype, iChat, GoogleTalk, Vonage, Yahoo, etc.)
* – Handset Cord Length 1.5 metres
* – Original Design by HULGER, handmade by Furni of Montreal

Each phone is handmade to order. This takes 6 to 8 weeks after the order is
placed. Standard delivery times, of 5 days to 2 weeks depending on location,
apply thereafter.

2.1

Woke up, saw the tweets re: 2.1, which I thought was worth getting up to upgrade the phones… updates I really care about in bold.

Update includes:

* Decrease in call set-up failures and dropped calls
* Significantly better battery life for most users
* Dramatically reduced time to backup to iTunes
* Improved email reliability, notably fetching email from POP and Exchange accounts
* Faster installation of 3rd party applications
* Fixed bugs causing hangs and crashes for users with lots of third party applications

* Improved performance in text messaging
* Faster loading and searching of contacts
 * Improved accuracy of the 3G signal strength display
* Repeat alert up to two additional times for incoming text messages
* Option to wipe data after ten failed passcode attempts
* Genius playlist creation

  • @iamshimone try verizon evdo. Not sure if they have a USB card though. I tethered on caltrain and was connected 95%. The 5% was the tunnel. #
  • @iamshimone just checked vzw’s site, they have USB evdo cards… (also expresscard if i were to get one lol) #
  • @iamshimone you can probably buy the evdo card on eBay and sell your AT&T one to cover etf and go contract-free #
