Today my friend Todd emailed me a link to the NETGEAR Skype Phone. I vaguely recall reading about the concept of wifi mobile phones but this is the first I’ve heard of something materializing.
This device could work great in cities with public Wi-Fi coverage. Especially for traveling abroad. I imagine it being more practical around the home on one’s personal wireless network. Depending on the cost the savings potential is huge for a person making frequent international calls. In the mean time I’ll stick with my Packet8
internet phone (Voice over Internet Protocol
).

Last November Google began offering free web analytics. The service is free to use for sites with under five million visitors per month. Google’s web analytics offering is powered by the Urchin software they purchased earlier this year.
Demand for the free service has been so strong that Google has limited the number of new accounts. If you wish to participate you need to sign up and wait your turn.
While you’re waiting you can visit the complimentary Conversion University .
