Asus EEE Videophone AiGuru SV1

A completely unique product — a computerless computer that does one job only: make video Skype calls on a big 7-inch [color] screen.

The AiGuru is big enough, at 20cm x 12cm x 25 cm (8" x 5" x 10") not to be fiddly, but small enough to be portable as well as a desktop gadget — to which end it works wirelessly around the house.

The device is also nicely rounded and easy to hand around.

The video quality is OK — Skype is never exactly HD — and the sound really good.

This is a product ideal for, say, an elderly relative — but don't let that put you off using it for everyday family (even company) purposes.
