Asus AiGuru S2 Wi-Fi skype Voip phone
One of the new breed of Skype phones that looks to take Skype calling to the mainstream user is the Asus AiGuru S2. At CES I had the chance to briefly demo the phone and it was one of most intriguing devices on display.The AiGuru S2 is a cordless USB Internet phone offering support for Skype™ software, Windows® Vista™ SideShow™, and both Apple iTunes and Windows Media® Player for wireless music play. The Asus AiGuru S2 has a slick slim design, color display and backlit keypad. The AiGuru was easy to handle and I could easily see using this device around the house or even my office.
Asus AiGuru S2 Features and Functionality
The Asus AiGuru S2’s has a pretty simple menu structure and the user interface is easy to use. Besides Skype’s basic features, the AiGuru S2 also provides the ability for users to manage their personal information and contact lists. Users can also see callers’ photos or avatars and Skype ID when receiving an incoming call. Here some additional notes:
- IEEE 802.11b+g, with Auto-Fallback and Auto-Channel-Selection
- 128X128 Dot Matrix CSTN-LCD 65K Color Display
- Standby: 25 Hours; Talking: 3 Hours
- 2 Channel Earphone Jack Mini USB Jack: 2.5Φ(mm), 4 pins
Asus AiGuru S2 First Impressions
It is a cool gadget, but I am not a huge fan of Wi-Fi Voip phones in the hands of residential users. I do not think they support the type of user experience Skype truly wants to deliver to their users. I could not get an MSRP, but I would venture to guess this one will be going for around $299 ea, with a street price in the $249 range.
