The xing conference phone features four-way surround sound microphones. It is compatible with either a PC or Mac picking up voice from 5 meter (15 foot) radius. So you can walk around the room, work with a white board or a PowerPoint. In comfort; unconstrained.

Price point is $149.99 with an IPEVO online special at $129.99.

It comes bundled with with Convenos Meeting Center and a free 14-day trial offer of this web-based conferencing and collaboration software. Ships next week.

I will be testing this product in our labs, so check back in a few days to find out how fast it goes. I suspect it will match the usual supurb quality of the other IPEVO products. I see that it uses 16 KHz audio sampling so it will match Skype byte for byte on sound quality.
