Press Release Summary: Newly-available SOLO gives customers the freedom to place and
receive Skype
calls without a computer


Press Release Body: San Jose, Calif., October 9, 2007 - IPEVO, SkypeT partner and
leading manufacturer of experience-driven Internet devices, today announced the
launch of SOLO - a stand-alone Skype desktop internet phone that enables users to
place Skype voice calls without a computer. An always-on Skype CertifiedT device,
SOLO brings the familiarity and functionality of a traditional telephone to Skype's
popular internet communications software.

Equipped with an RJ-45 Ethernet connector, SOLO works wherever a broadband Internet
connection is available. The phone comes embedded with Skype software, enabling
users to make and receive Skype voice calls right out of the box. Setup is as simple
as plugging in the network cable, logging in to the user's Skype account and placing
a call. SOLO supports Skype-to-Skype, SkypeInT, SkypeOutT and Skype Voicemail -
enabling customers to take advantage of Skype's free calling to other Skype users,
as well as low-cost rates to mobile phones and landlines anywhere in the world.

"Technology is not meant to be complex. In fact, the most innovative products fit in
perfectly with our everyday lives - and become second nature," said Edward Lucero VP
& general manager of IPEVO North America. "SOLO reflects this philosophy. We've made
placing a Skype call as easy and familiar as placing a regular phone call. Users no
longer need to power up their computer to place an Internet call."

By bringing the familiarity and simplicity of traditional telephony to internet
communications, SOLO is poised to broaden Skype's outreach to mass consumers and
create a cohesive integration of internet voice calling with consumers' everyday
lives.

Key features of the SOLO include:
. One-click speakerphone function for hands-free talking
. LED indications for power on/off, missed call, message, mute and speakerphone mode
. Memory keys for speed dials
. 2.4\" TFT color LCD display with adjustable viewing angle
. FCC, CE, VCCI, and RoHS compliant

SOLO will launch in the US markets beginning October 9 for $169.99 U.S. MSRP. "IPEVO
has packaged the SOLO with 90 minute SkypeOut voucher, a quick start guide, and
built in accounts to make it easier for non-Skype users."

Known for its iconic line of award-winning Skype hardware, IPEVO has established a
reputation for developing products that seamlessly integrate into users' lifestyles
and living spaces. SOLO continues the company's tradition of combining urban
minimalism with smart, functional design. SOLO features a sleek black body with a
