Chris McGugan, VP of Product Management for Belkin:

popularity, especially among people looking to save on
long-distance calls.

-- Adding to our line of Skype Certified hardware, our new
Desktop Internet Phone for Skype is making Skype more
accessible to more people. Its affordable price and ease of
use brings the benefits of Skype to an even broader audience.

Gareth O'Loughlin, General Manager, Mobile and Hardware Devices,
Skype:

-- Skype is all about freeing people's conversations. This
includes freeing them from the need to use a computer just to
make or answer a Skype call.

-- Belkin's new Desktop Internet Phone helps people do just that.

-- Whether you use Skype to call friends, family or business
associates, we think you'll love the familiarity and
simplicity of the Skype experience on this new device.

Access to a broadband Internet connection is required for Skype
and all Skype Certified devices and accessories. Please note, just as
with Skype running on a computer, Skype embedded in a desktop Internet
phone or other handset is not a replacement for your traditional
telephone service and cannot be used for emergency calling.
