A cordless VoIP phone using a PC running Skype as its base station will reach stores next week. The Linksys/Skype CIT200 supports Windows PCs initially, with Mac OS X support planned. Given that Skype runs on Linux, eventual Linux support seems likely as well.

The CIT200 handset is based on a proprietary Linksys RTOS, and uses the DECT protocol for cordless phones, which LinkSys says eliminates interference with 2.4GHz networking products.

Find out other interesting details about the CIT200 by reading the full story, over at DeviceForge.
