Softphones on Memory Sticks Are Now The Rage

Hey, you're new around here aren't ya? Did you know you can get every post FREE in your EMAIL or via RSS? Oh and if you're a Twit like me you can follow me on Twitter HERE. Enjoy the post.

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.
