The Verball family, dysfunctional as it may be, is taking Skype chatting by storm. These ludicrous critters act as your microphone and speaker for making those wonderfully free Skype calls from your computer. They have in-built speakers and microphones and get this, their mouths move when the person you're calling speaks. Initially this of course results in conversations punctuated with uncontrollable laughter, but you get used to it - and everyone gets to think you're perennially happy.

As well as rabbiting along with your caller, they waggle their comedy hands and will play your MP3s through their inbuilt speaker. Once you've made your Verball feel at home on your desktop (it's all very easy plug and play stuff), you can visit the Verball site and pick free ring tones to play through your new pal and even get them to speak your chosen text.

Choose from Slick the business tycoon, Mr V the DJ maestro, and Baby the foxy model. Why use a dull old microphone when you have a constant companion at hand to make your calls, natter away and play your music.
