How much time do you spend talking via Skype to your friends and family? How’s that for a nice free long distance VoIP call? If you are tired of the regular headphones and microphone you can always choose one of Skype’s phones. This time they are offering a Skype Phone that also happens to be a mouse. Or is it a Skype Mouse that also works as a phone?

This mouse connects via USB to your PC and does its mousey job. When someone is calling you through Skype, the mouse transforms into a phone. It has integrated microphone and speakers so you can immediately answer. And if you want to make the call, there’s a tiny LCD and a keypad which will let you dial the number.

Ok Skype but what if I want to browse through stuff while I talk on the mouse? Should I enable the touchpad I just disabled? What if I am working on a PC? Get two mice? What if my phone call lasts for a couple of hours? Won’t I get tired? Should I switch back to regular headphones for longer phone calls?

The Skype Mouse Phone is cute and it will make a nice present to some of my friends. I see myself more likely using it as a mouse.
