VoIP away from your PC
Internet telephony can come close to the quality of standard calls, but cannot match them for convenience. The Plantronics CS60-USB wireless headset serves at least to release you from your PC when using Voice over IP (VoIP).
It uses the same Dect wireless technology as home hands-free phones, with a similar base station that doubles as a charger for the headset, but the CS60-USB version plugs into a USB port rather than a phone socket. You have the choice of an ear clip or a headband to attach the headset.
During testing, the CS60-USB worked well with Skype's VoIP service and involved minimal set-up. You need to be at your PC to launch a call, but not to receive one, with incoming calls sounding a beep on the headset. It's expensive, but it gets the job done.
Pros:
Hassle-free setup; works well
Cons:
Volume a little low; pricey
App will make it easier for users of RIM's smartphone to log on to BT's Wifi hotspots
Basic Input Output System. Essential software built into every PC that connects the vital components....
