I got my MagicJack from CEO Dan Borislow himself at CES 2008 in Las Vegas. I had read about it and was excited to check it out. The MagicJack is a GREAT product with a revolutionary business concept; instead of just routing calls from phone company to phone company over the internet why not BE the phone company at both ends? That's the "magic" of their business model and why they're able to be so inexpensive.
For the geeks out there one challenge in using this product is setting up QoS so that downloads and other web traffic don't kill your call quality. There's too wide a range of ports they use to give them all priority so the best solution is probably to dedicate an old PC to MagicJack and give it high priority via MAC address or IP address.
They could have had a better name, they could do a better job in communicating to the market, they could have additional equipment options, but with all that said I'm impressed with Dan and MagicJack.
