While not revolutionary it may be worth it for some people.

The Mac version of magicJack will be available "soon" according to the FAQ at the magicJack Web site.

Very Interesting!  I'm looking at ways to disconnect from Qwest.  I wonder if the magicJack works with fax machines?

this sounds pretty cool!
However, if you wanted you could also just purchase a U3 flash drive and download skype onto the drive.
then sign up for skypein and skypeout service...
but this only works for Windows.

However for macs, all you have to do is run skype from the flash drive, since mac apps are all self contained in a ".app" file.

cheers
