MOBIVOX bridging traditional phones with Skype

Mobivox
Currently in private beta, MOBIVOX is a service that lets you call your Skype contacts from any land line or cellular phone. Download Squad has a first-look writeup as part of the beta; they’re reporting that the beta should go public fairly soon. The ability to contact and speak to your Skype contacts can be pretty handy if you’re computer-less for any length of time; something we frown upon around here. ;)

Sounds like there might be a few kinks in the service just yet, but it certainly shows potential. MOBIVOX actually uses voice activation for your Skype calls; simply say the name of your contact and which number (home, Skype, etc…) you want called and MOBIVOX will connect you. Sounds interesting and I’m looking forward to the public beta.
