CES 2010 Wrap-up – Looking to our Future

Network/Skype

Everyman headsets

As ABT’s staff and senior editors are scattered all over the globe, we use Skype for our conferencing and these headsets seemed like a great idea.  Courtesy of In Store Solutions, we got a half-dozen pair of Freetalk’s Everyman headset and they are currently being sent out to our individual editors for their use.  So far, this editor likes them for music and the flat fold design makes them great for traveling.  Expect a full review from all of us in the next couple of weeks as we set up a Skype-conference to test out the Everyman Skype-optimized audio.  I have a pair of Plantronics DSP 500s that I have used as a headset for well over a year and will compare it to the Everyman for you.

In Store Solutions also announced Skype Certified webcams. Three New FREETALK Webcams Provide Skype Users with true High-Definition and High-Quality video calling and conferencing.  Prices start at just $40 for the VGA model.  When ABT begins video conferencing between our editors, you can be sure our readers will know all about it.
