"EasyCall™ Desktop — the world´s first combination of a mouse, keyboard, headset and speakerphone. With its advanced audio technology, integrated controls for placing and accepting calls, and easy-to-use software, the EasyCall Desktop includes everything people need to take advantage of Internet calling today."

Logitech has announced a number of new products today which all revolve around making internet calling easier and a better experience.

There’s the EasyCall Desktop mentioned above, a new cordless handset for Skype calls coming soon, and a European version of the EasyCall Desktop with Skype-specific keyboard functionality. From the Logitech release on EasyCall Desktop:

The speakerphone acts as the control center for
the Internet calling experience, with volume up and down, mute, call
pick-up, and call hang-up buttons that make it easy for people to
manage Internet calls. The product also comes with a stereo headset
that can be plugged into a convenient port on the speakerphone when
privacy is important.

A full communications panel on the stylish
cordless keyboard provides people with the ability to launch Internet
communications applications, easily change their online status, and
make and accept calls. Convenient speed-dialing controls offer
one-touch calling to friends, family, or co-workers. These easily
accessible buttons can be used to store and dial either telephone
numbers or IP addresses associated with user names. The product is
optimized for use with Internet calling applications, such as Yahoo!®
Messenger with Voice and AOL´s AIM® service in the U.S, and Skype™ in
Europe.
