It looks like Vonage is getting into the portable VoIP phone marketplace with the introduction of their new V-Phone. According to the company, the phone can be activated by being plugged into any PC with a broadband intenet connection
The V-Phone is being aimed mostly at business users since it can potentially reduce voice communication costs including cellphone roaming charges. The phone comes loaded with Vonage Talk software and includes 250MB of memory that can be used to store files such as MP3s and digital photos. The device is priced at $39.99.

1. DingoTel has this device that lets you do Push to Talk over VoIP. You can use any FRS GMRS 2way radio and you can talk over the net! Its amazing. It is like Nextel but there are no monthly fees. Pretty cool stuff and never been seen before. The DingoTel 2way unit is sold at Best Buy and Amazon. They use a p2p (peer to peer) network so that they can keep it completely free and also so that you can reach your buddies just like you would on Skype or MSN or Yahoo. Your contacts show up when their PCs turn on and voila you are connected. Check out www.dingotel.com for more info on their VoIP system and oh... they also did some cool SIP tunneling so that SIP will work behind firewalls or restricted networks without worrying putting port mappings into firewalls (at last a company like Skype that makes VoIP simple).
