NEW YORK, Jan. 9 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The different ways that
people communicate have changed radically over the last decade -- and
consumer demand for improved devices is constant. Philips is addressing
that need with some new products, unveiled at the 2007 Consumer Electronics
Show, that leverage emerging technology. Cameron Batten and Janna Rachelle,
Philips' roving reporters, are here to tell you more.

Consumers using cordless phones equipped with Philips' Digitally
Enhanced Cordless Telecommunication (DECT) technology will hear virtually
none of the cracks, buzzes, whines or interference that they are accustomed
to hearing when they use a conventional telephone. Philips' DECT means the
device uses up to 60 channels to get the clearest call over greater
distances than any analog phone.
Voice-over-internet-protocol (VOIP) offers an affordable way to make
phone calls by using the Internet instead of a landline to connect their
phone to other VOIP-enabled phones. Two phones from Philips and partners
Skype and Microsoft -- the Skype VOIP841 and Windows Live Messenger VOIP433
-- have dual functionality that allows callers to use either the net or a
landline to connect to friends and family. With the VoIP841, someone
doesn't even need a PC.
Another popular tool, the webcam, allows people communicating by chat
to see each other. Philips' new cameras come with easy-to-use software that
allows users to capture, edit and manage videos -- as well as send pictures
or videomail.
