New gear for Skype users

IOGEAR recently introduced a new product meant to enhance Skype: the USB Voice Skype Calling Kit. The kit includes a microphone, dial pad, headset and two audio ports, creating a landline calling environment.

The dial pad can be plugged into any USB port and it incorporates the functionality of a landline phone, including mute and volume control capability. According to an IOGEAR press release, the USB Voice Skype Calling Kit's "audio ports enable audio switching, allowing users to direct the sound that is coming from the computer to either the headphones or external speakers, creating a robust conference call environment."
