 D-Link recently came out with a Wi-Fi Phone. Now Belkin is joining the Wi-Fi phone market with the Belkin Wi-Fi Phone for Skype. With it, you can make free, unlimited domestic and International calls to other Skype users without the use of a computer. And just like D-Link's model, you can make calls to landline phones worldwide.
Making a call is just like using Skype: use the menu to find your contact and view your online availability. It also features WPA and WPA2 with PSK support for secure calls and 802.11b/g compatibility. The Wi-Fi Phone will ship in North America in August 2006 and will sell for $149.99. You can preorder it now on Amazon.com. It launches in Asia, Europe, and Australia soon after. [via Belkin press release]

I'm curious how wifi devices like this manage to attach themselves to wireless networks, how they deal with secured networks or data encryption and so forth. Any information in that regard?
