We stopped by Ooma's booth at CES for a quick hands-on with the new HD Telo (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/clean-out-those-ears-oomas-telo-goes-high-definition-gets-iph/) and some time with the iPhone app. Voice quality on the service was pretty decent, although we did notice a pretty significant bit of lag -- we're assuming things would work better on a quality connection, as opposed to the slammed pipes here on the show floor. The new DECT handset (http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/ooma-telo-handset-now-available-attempts-to-lure-your-booze-mon/) was also quite nice, although it took a second to figure out how to initiate a call. We also played with the iPhone app for a second -- it worked as advertised, although once again we were limited by both the poor network connections on the show floor. It's certainly an interesting concept, though -- we'll have to wait to see how this all works in the home.
