Wi-Fi wireless phones are very hot products on the market. Accton (http://www.accton.com/) has finally started to ship its Skype Wi-Fi wireless phone. Accton has also received a new Skype Wi-Fi wireless phone order from Belkin. On the other hand, Alphanetworks (http://www.alphanetworks.com/), whose parent company is D-Link, has decided to work with Google to develop a Wi-Fi phone for Google Talk.

 

Alphanetworks’ CTO said that Alphanetworks has high expectations for the VOIP related market, in a conference on 8/2. It has worked with Google to develop the Wi-Fi phone and will become one of the first of several companies to roll out Internet phones for Google Talk. The CTO also mentioned that Google Talk, which is similar to the Skype service, has drawn lots of attention because of its developer, Google. Some potential customers have expressed interest in buying the Google Talk related products from Alphanetworks - who is not very sure that the products will be available to the market before the end of this year.

 

According to some market analysts, the Google Talk/D-link/Alphanetworks alliance has the potential to become a threat to the Skype/Accton/Inventec_Appliance alliance. Skype has the market advantage right now, however, Google has tons of resources that it can use to develop Google Talk.

 

Accton has announced its working with Skype in last year’s conference in Japan. However, due to the delay in getting Skype certified, it cannot ship out their phones until last month. The shipping of their product should be a big help to Accton’s revenue.

 

According to Skype’s official announcement, there will be four Skype Wi-Fi phones available on the market at first. The four companies providing them are: SMC, EdgeCore, Belkin, and Netgear - with both SMC and EdgeCore being Accton brands and the phone by Belkins is OEMed by Accton, too, while Netgear’s phone is OEMed by Inventec_Appliance (http://www.iac.com.tw/web_en/index.htm). Accton is the true winner in this market because it builds the phones for 3 of the 4 players on the market.
