The evolution in time of the concept of VoIP (voice over Internet Protocol) has been a pretty astounding one, evolving from the point where one needed a computer connected to the Internet, a microphone and a pair of headphones in order to get a conversation started to modern VoIP-enabled mobile phones. And since for many people, VoIP is directly related to one of the first major services providing such functions, namely Skype, IPEVO has just released a device that will be able to deliver full Skype functionality without using any wires, namely the S0-10W Wi-Fi Skype Desktop Phone.

Now, we won't go into any details regarding the way in which this thing handles Skype without the presence of a computer, because, after all, there are quite a few similar devices available on the market that can easily do the same. However, what's interesting to note about this particular product is the lack of any wires apart from the power cord (not even an Ethernet cable), courtesy of the device being accompanied by a built-in Wi-Fi network adapter, which can be used for connecting to a wireless router, for example.

Furthermore, since it sports an Ethernet switch, this adapter can also be used quite easily when there's only one Ethernet interface available, which, in fact, might be a pretty common feature, especially within those households where there is only one computing machine.

As its name says it, the S0-10W Wi-Fi Skype Desktop Phone from IPEVO can easily find its way onto pretty much any desk within one's home, as it measures somewhere near 7.59 x 6.61 x 2.44 inches, at an overall weight of around 1.54 pounds. Plus, its looks are quite similar to those of a normal desktop phone, which might come in handy especially for those less tech-savvy people who have some problems getting to learn how to use new and modern technologies.

The IPEVO S0-10W Wi-Fi Skype Desktop Phone sells for somewhere around 170 US dollars, which, in fact, is a pretty decent price point, given the features the device can provide, and not that far from the price of a standard desktop phone.
