The smart home phone that everyone has been dreaming of? Maybe. Archos has released their Smart Home Phone 35 over in the UK. It’s a 3.5 inch Android device that has 8GB of internal storage and a front-facing camera. Coupled with WiFi it might make for a great video phone using Skype or any other video calling service. As it’s not a traditional Android device we don’t have the Android market but Archos does support the Appslib market and users should be able to find some goods there. It’s about 130 over there but there isn’t a phone available quite like this one. Head here to get started. [via Android Central]
What better way to charge your phone then to use the power provided by a land line :D
Nice idea. Wish i thought of it.
imho land lines are pointless for residential use and I don’t think they will exist for much more than another decade. I only have one as it’s required by my broadband connection. My phone only ever used to ring from cold calls and my Dad but now it never rings as I’ve switched the ringer off. My Dad along with everyone else barring the cold calls now get use my mobile number and my world is a happier place for it :)
Why are they pointless? If your plumber calls and you’re not around, your wife or anyone else in your family could pick up the phone and confirm the appointment. Landlines are for the House, mobile is for You. You don’t need to give every random plumber out there your personal mobile number. It’s OOP :)
