Ipevo launches Mac driver for its Skype phones

Ipevo Inc., a Taiwanese startup based in California, has launched the beta version of a software driver that allows its Skype phones to be used on computers running Apple Computer Inc.’s Mac OS, the company said Thursday.
It’s the company’s first attempt to get its Free-1 Skype phones into the hands of Mac users. Ipevo’s products are mainly handsets that plug into a computer via its USB (universal serial bus) port and are designed for free Internet phone calls using Skype Technologies SA’s popular VOIP (voice over Internet protocol) software.
The Free-1 phones are designed to make VOIP calls easy. They plug into a desktop or laptop through a USB port, and by pressing a button on the phone Skype is launched, ready for voice calls over the Internet to another computer. For SkypeOut, users need only to press a large “+” key, and then they can make calls from their computer to telephones.
