He's building a Skype payphone - and wants your ideas

Philip Torrone of O'Reilly Media's MakeZINE is building a Skype payphone.

Brilliant idea. I'd love to see them in places that still offer those overpriced payphones from ILECs as well as specialty companies.

Phil wants to know what features, capabilities and usability traits you would want in it. Both as a user, and as a potential real-world host: say a restaurant owner or hotelier who might want to install one.

Phil has nine questions for you. Among them: "should the payphone keeplogs?", and "I there a way to make calldebris (chat transcripts, call logs, voice mails), portable back to a user's client at home/office?"

To read his other seven questions, as well as to respond, let's go here.

Then come back to us and TalkBack what you suggested.
