USB Speakerphone makes conference calls easy

USB Pocket Speaker phone

If you’re traveling on business, chances are good you’re going to bring your laptop with you. More and more people are using VOIP technology like Skype for their phone calls at home or while away, but it’s not always easy to use a microphone. If you plan to make use of Skype and the like, you might want to look into the Pocketsize USB Speakerphone.

Not only does it mean you don’t have to worry about a microphone slipping around, it’s handy if you’re trying to have a conference call with several people in one room. It plugs into your USB port and requires no other external power. The speakerphone has built-in echo cancellation, which is nice and it’s full-duplex, meaning that you and the person on the other end can talk at the same time without any lag.

It’s compatible with Skype, AIM, MSN Messenger, Apple iChat, and many others, and best of all it doesn’t require any pesky drivers.

Since it’s pocket-sized, it’s perfect for slipping into the zippered pocket of your laptop bag to bring with you wherever your work and travels take you. You can order one at ThinkGeek for only $17.99.
