I have a wired one from www.ipevo.com. Works fine, but probably not exactly what you're looking for.

There's at least one on the Apple store site, seems to get good reviews.
They should be in the Audio/speakers section.

Vastly overpriced but works very, very well:

I use the easyblue box - http://www.yamamoto-group.co.uk/index.php?page=easyblue

It enables me to connect my cordless phone to my MAC and use SKYPE. I purchased my easyblue box on EBAY.

To get it all working, which is very easy, you also need the latest version of SKYPE and SKYMACMATE to control the easyblue box.

It all works together great. When I get a SKYPE call my cordless phone rings too.....

Hope this helps.

I *think* the DS Lite works as a VoIP phone. Not to mention, its a DS Lite, which gives it an added benefit of being awesome.

There are some interesting phones posted here, however I'm just wondering how can you call a skype contact if you have no display to select between all of your contacts?

Don't want to come over as a noob but I have no experiance what so ever with this

In order to call contacts when using an ordinary phone and SKYMACMATE all you need to do is rename your contacts in SKYPE and prefix them with a unique number e.g.

12 FRED BLOGGS
13 SUE BLOGGS

To call FRED BLOGGS all you have to do is enter *12# on the phone (I usually program these into my cordless phone). To dial a landline or mobile number just enter * then the telephone number, followed by a #.
I dont have to go anywhere near my MAC MINI.

This document on SKYMACMATE may explain all

I just started a VoIP company for the simple fact that most are not mac compatible.

Is this possible? It would rock if it would work.
