In a sign that ASUS is not stopping from delivering IT products aside from hot netbooks, ASUS has unveiled the world’s first Skype-Certified videophone called the AiGuru SV1.

The AiGuru SV1 videophone makes video calls easily by eliminating the need of a PC, allowing users to make unlimited VoIP calls right on the device, seeing the other party on the line in a 7-inch LCD display with 800×480 resolution. Other features include an  integrated webcam with 640×480 resolution and a WiFi connectivity.  The AiGuru can be connected to an Ethernet via router or it can accept connection via 802.11 b/g wireless. It has a rechargeable battery that can last for 20 minutes. Unfortunately, the device weighs 1.6 kilograms making it unsuitable for mobile operation.

The ASUS AiGuru SV1 will be on sale this October for about $299.
