Pirate, thanks for the post.

This is great news. I wonder what their timeframe is on this product? Whether we'll see it for the Xmas buying period or we'll have to wait for next year? I also wonder who they are partnering with to make/sell the phones.

I like the way they are going after both business and consumers with their service. This product for consumers sounds very interesting. Sounds like you can easily justify the cost of the service given the long distance call savings using internet telephony. We'll have to see, but I'm optimistic.

This company gets more exciting every day!!!

This is great !
Hope that they are out for Christmas !

With its magicTalk VUI, the phone device will offer the convenience of hands-free operation and
control. A Trader who just lost his/her data feed for example, could simply tell Magic Phone to "call my
stock broker" Utilizing Internet telephony technology will also allow Magic Phone users to call each
other across the Internet, thus avoiding long distance charges.

Good luck
Tim

Wish they waited till Mon. morning to put out the press release though
