Recently D-Link introduced on the market an interesting product, a Wi-Fi router with integrated VoIP functionality by the famous software Asterisk®, a software developed for VoIP communication and all inherent technologies; the name of this curious device is HorstBox DVA-G3342SB.
It seems strange but this product at the moment is available only in Germany, in fact if you want to read the features and other infos you can do it by surfing on the official page of the product (german language!) or by searching it on the official German website www.d-link.de.
HorstBox is fully ADSL/ADSL2+ compatible and integrate 1 USB 2.0 port, 2 ISDN ports, 3 analog ports, 4 RJ-45 10/100 Mbit ports, the wireless feature is supported by IEEE 802.11g standard and IEEE 802.11b fully compatible.
A little goody for programmers, it seems that D-Link releases freely and officially the source code of the HorstBox, in order that everyone who is experienced in this "hacking" could change and personalize as he/she want the router functionality.
Here’s the FTP link.
Let’s hope that D-Link will introduce soon on the worldwide market this interesting product, useful, at my advice, specially to professionals and small companies.

D-Link displayed the first flip-style mobile Wi-Fi phone that includes a complete softphone from TelTel for SIP-based IP telephony, thus enabling users to make free calls whenever they enter a Wi-Fi hotspot.

Named DPH-540, the handset looks like a normal cellular phone. However, it is not a hybrid phone and is not compatible with GSM or CDMA networks.

Anyway, this is a pretty lightweight set as it weighs just 3.74 ounces. It has a backlit colour LCD and keypad too much like a normal mobile.

This is on display at the Sprint VON Conference and Exhibition until March 17, 2006 at San Jose Convention Center.

For a phone like it, I guess that the price tag of $300 is a bit too much. Anyway, new things come with a higher price-tag notwithstanding the fact that others like it will soon flood the markets.
