Convergence is generally a good thing but sometimes I wonder what people are thinking about when they’re trying to merge different products together. Take for example – the new ORtek 2 in 1 Skypad SKP-3300. This is a combination USB Phone and numeric keypad in a single form factor. You simply plug the device into your desktop or laptop system via the USB port and then make and receive free PC to PC calls via Skype.

I suppose it makes a little bit of sense that these two products would go together – mostly because both devices require the use of a numeric keypad. However, a typcial numeric keypad for a keyboard is significantly larger than a phone’s keypad. Oh well.. I won’t argue with reason here (If you want to call it such).

Again, the Skypad SKP-3300 is integrated with Skype technology which means it’ll work hand in hand with Skype software.

Features include:

  • 100% Skype compatible
  • Dual Function: Keypad and USB phone
  • Absolute Driver Free
  • 100% Compatible with “Skype” interface
  • Full-Duplex
  • Dial “Skype” direct from Skypad
  • Plug & Dial –Easy to install and use
  • No need Power/Memory/Sound Card/Audio lines
  • Compliant with USB 1.1 Full-speed operation
  • Compliant with USB Audio Device class specification V1.0
  • Convenient Volume Control Buttons
  • 2 in 1 elegant slim design
  • Non-synchronized Num-Lock function
  • Smart LED Indicators: Num Lock and phone ringer status
