Asus videophone for Skype hits the UK
By Jennifer Scott,
The first dedicated Skype videophone, the Asus EEE Videophone, is now available to buy in the UK.
The battery-powered device was announced by Asus at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) earlier this year and will cost around £220.
Manrique Brenes, Skype’s director of business development and product management for consumer electronics, said: “The Eee Videophone is Skype’s first foray with a partner into the videophone category.”
“The videophone offers the benefits of video calling to a much wider audience, allowing friends and families to share their worlds face-to-face without being tied to a computer.”
The product is supported by Wi-Fi or Ethernet broadband and features a seven inch LCD screen, built in microphone and speaker and a 0.3 megapixel webcam. For more private calls there is also a headset available.
The videophone can be pre-ordered from either Amazon or the Skype shop from today.
