Untangle Your DesktopIf you're getting tangled up in the cords on your desk, this VoIP phone/keyboard/mouse combo will cut through (some of) the clutter.

I don't know about your desk, but mine resembles the receiving counter at an electronics waste dump. It's piled high with CPUs, monitors, phones, mice and some gear I no longer recognize--all bound together by power cords and connector cables. So I tried Logitech's EasyCall Desktop keyboard/mouse/speakerphone system. It didn't clean up my mess, but it did make a dent.

The wireless keyboard and laser mouse combo communicate with your PC via the VoIP-enabled speakerphone, which is about the size of an eyeglass case. Desk messes vary, but I traded four cables and four PC ports for just one USB port and cable between the PC and speakerphone. And since the keyboard and mouse are powered by two penlight batteries, there's no A/C adapter cable, either.

Basically, the $130 EasyCall takes the discrete voice and audio components that may be sprouting up on your desk because of VoIP and distributes their features, functions and buttons across a single system whose components are of higher quality than standard PC issue.
