It seems that there’s a new VoIP handset on the market everyday, and today is no different, although you have to be a fan of Microsoft’s version of Internet telephony if you want to take full advantage of the upcoming Philips Messenger Phone. Sporting a small color display, the plug-and-play VOIP4331S allows you to make free worldwide client-to-client calls over the Windows Live Messenger service or dial standard phone numbers on the cheap via Windows Live Call, and also acts as a regular cordless phone for when you get sick and tired of the crappy audio you’re getting with VoIP. Philips promises that this model — along with a dual-handset version called the VOIP4332S — will “soon be available” at UK e-tailer Comet, but neither company is quoting prices yet.

Last time we heard from BioCert, it was regarding that there Guardian biometric fingerprint door lock. Now it looks like they’re back in the game with the ClipBio Pro 1GB biometric flash drive.
