Panasonic Skype phone includes wireless FON router

Here's a good business play: pairing up free voice calling with a free wireless router. That's just what Panasonic has done with their first Skype phone offering; it includes a WiFi router for the FON network. The icing on the cake is that the KX-WP800 handset is configured to automatically connect when in range of any FON hotspot. You can also use any other WiFi hotspot of course, but if you're in an area with a high concentration of FONeros, it makes it that much easier to call folks over Skype. The KX-WP800 with its 55 hours of standby and 4.5 hours of talk time hits Japan later this month for 29,800 yen.
