One of the most interesting things about the growth of Skype is the development of Skype-specific devices, which are (presumably) meant to ease the shock of talking on the "phone" using a microphone and some computer speakers instead of a headset, but take away the free aspect of Skype and impose a more organized, made-for-business feeling on the VoIP network. Of course, appearances can be deceiving, so today's task: find out whether or not one particular Skype phone - the IPEVO Trio - makes the tradeoff of more features worth paying extra for your Skype hardware.

If you use Skype, have a private office where you can make speakerphone calls, and do a lot of interviews over the phone, the IPEVO Trio may be the Skype hardware for you. While the phone's firmware and its software package have some kinks that IPEVO could revise with some updates, the Trio accomplishes its primary purpose - replacing a standard telephone - very well.
