Boasting a large 7″ display and a built-in webcam, speaker and microphone, the new WiFi-capable videophone AiGuru SV1 from Asus lets users make unlimited video calls for free to other Skype users without the need for a computer. Users can also join voice conferences, making the ASUS AiGuru SV1 an inexpensive, all-in-one voice and video conferencing solution for small businesses. ASUS AiGuru SV1 users looking to make outgoing and receive incoming calls to and from fixed and mobile lines can subscribe to one of Skype’s unlimited calling subscriptions or purchase Skype credit to make outgoing calls at www.skype.com

2. Sign-in with an existing Skype name or create a new one
3. Start video calling
