Softphones on Memory Sticks Are Now The Rage

• Tweet

Australian VoIP service provider GoTalk, has recently begun shipping its own USB memory stick that contains their softphone and can be loaded onto any PC or Laptop. Vonage launched a similar USB memory stick, the Vonage V-phone, a few months ago. From what I hear there will be more then a few service providers launching this same sort of device in the coming weeks. I do not really see the value in the device. It is touted as the ultimate solution for travelers, business people, and general nomads, but most people I know who use VoIP already have their softphone loaded on their laptop, which they carry with them everywhere.
