Such is the groaning weight of Skype-certified gizmos on the market that the Skype overlords have had to create a whole new website to house them.

Skype's new Accessories Guide makes it easier to find the gadget of your dreams by organising all the hardware into categories, and then explaining in plain English what they do, how they can improve your Skyping, how much they cost and so on.

Under the main Accessories tab you'll find headsets, webcams and so on, while the Devices tab has all you need to know about Skype WiFi phones – top of my Christmas list, and set to change the way we make mobile calls. (The main change will be that we'll no longer need to cry into our empty wallets every time we get a mobile phone bill.)
