Trying to call your female escort to let her know you’ll be late? Use one of these payphones hooked up to the Internet via a PBX system. Probably running Asterisk I’m guessing. Check out photos of the setup after the jump.

While VoIP might not be everyone’s cup of tea, it’s definitely going to attract the attention of those who are really trying to pinch pennies. T-Mobile today announced it’s going to blow everyone else out of the water in the market by offering $10/mo home phone service via the T-Mobile @Home service.
Beginning July 2nd, T-Mobile customers will be able to take advantage of @Home for ten bucks. At that price, you’re paying $15 less than Vonage and way less than your cable provider. Of course, if you really want to save money, you could just tie two cans together and yell into each end like a true douche.
Could Sony have gotten anymore simplistic than naming their new mouse with an integrated Internet phone Mouse Talk. It has single-handedly inspired me to invent a toilet with an embedded radio I’m calling “Shit Listen.” If you’re gay for VoIP and you have no need for a comfortable mouse then Mouse Talk is for you.
It lets you make and receive high quality calls while you click away at minesweeper on your 800 DPI optical mouse. A conveniently placed button on the side of the mouse opens the phone to enable speakerphone functionality. As you probably guessed, it’s got a hefty price tag being that it comes from Sony. Ecost.com is letting it go for $84.99 making it one of the more pricey mice on the market.

Wait, you mouse only does what? It only move that cursor around your screen?! Not anymore. With the Genius Navigator 380, your mouse now works as a VOIP phone, an instant messaging device, not to mention the 1200dpi optical mouse part. All of these are rolled into its sweet clamshell design. Of course, if you have this multi-functional device, its primary use will be the mouse, but when you receive a call from one of your friends, it will either ring or flash a green light (underneath where your hand would be). The Genius Navigator 380 is a great little peripheral for you business travelers as well. You can save precious room in your laptop case to use for that enormous power adapter they didn’t tell you the laptop required. To top it off, the Genius Navigator 380 can juggle six separate instant messengers (Skype, MSN, Yahoo, GoogleTalk, QQ, and AIM) simultaneously in one window. Another multi-function that will save you space and money. Why not?
