The VP-24A from Keyspan offers an exciting new hardware option for Mac users (Windows users too!). This USB cordless Skype phone offers the longest range we have seen on a Skype cordless phone to date -- indoors the range has shown to be 90 feet plus consistently.
Description
While most VoIP phones require you to be connected to your PC via a USB cable our Cordless VoIP phone uses a wireless signal that allows you to roam your house or office while using Skype. You may use the phone for both PC-to-PC and PC-to-Phone calling.
