We're positive that you know how phone booths from Britain look like. Those phone booths are iconic part of Britain, but Professor Michael Shaughnessy has decided to combine the good old look of these phone booths with the latest technology. This is how we got Skype phone booths.

With the development of smartphones, many people don't even use phone booths, and this is the main reason why Michael Shaughnessy decided to make this interesting combination. As for these phone booths, they use iPad 2 with WiFi, with Skype installed. Of course, Skype comes with World Unlimited Account, and it allows people to make international phone calls and video call as well. These phone booths come with Pan & Tilt Vesa Arm, so users of different heights can sit comfortably while making Skype calls.

Prof. Michael Shaughnessy did a tremendous job with these phone booths, and who knows, maybe these Skype booths will replace standard phone booths that we see on the streets.
