AMEX Releases Touch-Sensitive Skype Phone

Not to be confused with the people that send you a credit card bill every month, AMEX Digital has just revealed a new wireless Skype phone that eschews regular buttons in favor of Chocolate-esque touch-sensitive controls.

The TSP-VS501 VoIP phone appears to be a mish-mash of contradictions, however, because while it rocks that svelte exterior and curvaceous form factor, it also has a monochrome display and a severe lack of features. What’s more, it may be a wireless phone, but from what we can gather, it’s not exactly standalone WiFi, still forcing you to be tethered to a PC in some way or another.

It’s does have a “stylish and sober design that should sell very well”, though we’re not sure how much it costs and when it’ll ship. Chances are, though, that it’s an Asia-only (if not Japan-only) device anyways.

    I just got through a half dozen documentaries and videos that I’ve been meaning to get to for months now. How I did it? The Just Mobile UpStand and a bit of help from CineXplayer. Now that my iPad conveniently sits next to my monitor in seemingly perfect viewable angle, I can let those videos play as I work during the day.

Its large display, crystal clear screen, and a multitude of features make it one of the most impressive tablets on the market. Check out Mobile Magazine’s iPad review here. However, like all iDevices, they do leave something to be desired in the area of durability.
