Linux-based WiFi phone uses open-source connection kit
Belkin is shipping a WiFi phone based on Linux and Skype’s proprietary VoIP (voice-over-IP) client. The Belkin WiFi Phone for Skype can use open or encrypted WiFi networks, and connects seamlessly at commercial hotspots and hot zones operated by Boingo, Belkin says.
The Belkin WiFi phone is available initially in English, Chinese, and Korean, with other languages to be added later. It comes with a Skype client preinstalled, and is designed for use with Boingo’s $8-per-month “Boingo Mobile” service, which offers unlimited access.
In addition to commercial Boingo hotspots, the Belkin phone also works with open 802.11b/g networks, and supports WPA and WPA2 with PSK security.
