Shiny New Gadget: Asus Videophone Touch

It’s the next generation of mobile phone: The mobile video phone.

For the busy entrepreneur on the go this device could mean more face-to-face meetings and a more personalized conference call experience without being confined to the office.

In addition, the device may even contribute to better communication with staff, vendors, and clients since the video aspect allows you to see and react to both verbal and NON-verbal cues.

The Asus Videophone Touch AiGuru SV1T, as it’s called, is certified to work over Skype, an Internet calling service that provides free or inexpensive calls all around the world.

About the same size as a small hardcover book, the device is easy to carry and sports a 7-inch screen.

Set-up is easy too. Just turn on the Asus AiGuru SV1, set the date and time, and let it search for wireless connections in the area.

Typically, it can find an available wireless network within seconds and connect right away. Once it’s connected to the Internet, you simply sign in with your Skype user name and password, and call away.

The device costs about $235 and can be purchased online or through most office supply or electronics superstores.
