Forget your PC: Skype on the go

A new gadget is on the way. The Asus Videophone Touch AiGuru SV1T’s 7-inch touch screen can make free audio and video calls with Skype, so there is no longer a need to sit on a PC at home. Skype-on-the-go? Not bad. Portability and convenience are the “in” factors of gadgets these days and this gadget definitely offers both. The downside? It costs $255.
For me, video calls through a laptop are good enough. I wouldn’t need to bother placing a video call when I’m out in public. If I’m already out of the house, I might as well go see my friend in person. Also, if I REALLY wanted to video chat with someone, I could easily purchase a phone with that capability. At least the phone can call, text message, send pictures, go on the internet, amongst other features, AND video call. But that’s just me.
