Am I the only one who wants to see a "wired" Skype phone for use in the home? I keep see these wi-fi mobile Skype phones but what many people (like my computer illiterate mother!) would find useful is a wired Skype phone that she can simply plug into the router and make calls with.

I think the market potential of such a product is being completely overlooked by all these companies. The first folks to get one out the door will make wads of $$ hand over fist.

A video enabled and standard version would be swell too =)

Come on!

@Steve,

There are a few computerless skype phones that's designed to be used as home/office phones like the Philips VOIP841 or Netgear SPH200D, as far as I know, the Netgear SPH200D works exactly like what you want, just plug it to the router and you are done or you can also plug it into a regular phone line and use it as a regular phone as well. From the users on skype's forum, they seem to like this phone very much.

Or just use Gizmo Project and buy any cheap ATA ($40) which you can use with your existing phones.

I have a standard 2.4ghz home phone plugged into a usb converter. I have use it with skype flawlessly for almost a year now. They offer many usb phones from skype or darn near any where else.
