...most peripatetic individual, the V-Phone provides a single follow-me phone number. At home, at work or at your parents' house, you can plug the V-Phone into a PC to make and receive calls and check voicemail. Unlimited calling is $25 per month, plus about $4 in taxes and surcharges. For cheapskates there's a $15-per-month 500-minute plan. Other PC-based phone services like Skype offer comparable calling deals and more freebies, but Skype - like Vonage's previous product SoftPhone - requires software installation to work.

My sources indicate that something like this is being researched, but in the meantime, I can safely say that after all of the testing, we have a winner...
...card. While it's not an iPod (and won't support music you buy at iTunes), it is a handy player, one that works in conjunction with the speakerphone and turn-by-turn navigation, muting when you need to hear something more important. You can even plug the c550 into your car's stereo using a tape adapter or FM transmitter (both sold separately...
