French designer David Turpin created the beautifully-designed Moshi Moshi handset for modern cell phones.

Plugged into an iPhone, the handset adds some super-hot retro style to calls. Especially exciting is the handset's compatibility with the iPad. Paired with VOIP apps like Skype, the iPad becomes a full-fledged Internet phone.

Native Union, the company selling the handset, says USB adapters will be available to pair the Moshi Moshi with computers, as well as adapters for most modern cell phones, even the ones not made my Apple.

The Moshi Moshi handset comes in two flavors. The handset by itself goes for $30 and a handset/base pairing is $60. According to the site, it will be available tomorrow, April 15.

I want a red one on my desk.
