Sexy Futiro Skype phone certified for Mac use

By My status Stephen Pinches on May 16, 2007 in Futiro, Mac hardware, Plug-in handsets.

  

The Futiro Luna, along with its two siblings the Terra and the Solo, must be the best looking Skype phones going at the moment. And the good design goes beyond the styling; the full telephone keypad has a pleasant key response, the hands-free feature works excellently, and the call quality is second to none.

So it is really good news (especially for the 12.33% of Skypegear readers who read it on a Mac!) that the Luna has now passed certification for use with a Mac. There's not been too many products Mac certified for Skype yet, and hopefully Futiro's other two phones, the Terra and Solo will soon join it. All we need now is a version in white to sit nicely next to the smooth lines of that G5!

The Luna is a corded USB handset, meaning that you just install the driver for the phone, click to allow it to use Skype, and then plug the handset straight into the USB. To make a Skype call, all you need to do is pick up the phone and press the green button. The little up and down buttons allow you to scroll through all of your contacts.

Skypegear reviewed all three phones back in April - see here for the reviews. The Luna retails at £47.95 / E70 from the Skype Store, or is available direct from Futiro for shipping to other parts of the world.

Can Skype be ported to function on Apple's NEW iPod Touch? If yes, WHEN?

peterdwalker | Thursday, Sep 6

Back on Sept 6 08, peterdwalker asked "Can Skype be ported to function on Apple's NEW iPod Touch? If yes, WHEN?"
Any answers out there?
Since Ipod Touch does not have mike input could SMS text be sent out?
