Skype infuses in every part of the computer. After the HP Skype key, or the WiFi router coming with the VoIP software, it’s the turn of Asustek Computer to launch two motherboards complete with phone jacks dedicated to the voice calling software. Once plugged in the adapter, cordless or corded phone becomes a handset for Skype.
