Found two nice links on connecting skype to an existing cordless phone. One is an hack which requires some soldering (via) and the other is commercial. Nice to see that a big company like Siemens is making a step towards VoIP. A cool plus is that they opened the SDK of their USB adapter to developers that want to implement new features on the existing platform.

New functionalities may include: intelligent routing of the phone calls; weather and stock info; SMS redirecting; but also intelligent integration of the house appliances: fridge, owen, etc. …

Seems that something is moving
