Apple iPhone for Landlines?!
Posted by: Amr on: August 22, 2008
OpenPeak’s iPhone clone for homes is production ready and could be in the market by the first quarter of 2009.
This information comes via a Wired report which indicates that the slick IP media phone, called OpenFrame, has been in design for about a year and a half.
Third party software developers will be able to create applications for the device, similar to how developers do for the iPhone. The phone will come with certain applications, such as calendar, news, weather, etc.
One of the beauties of the product is that it is dynamic, It is really a blank screen of opportunity. It could be used as a digital picture frame or even as a internet radio receiver.
Most likely the phone will be available through telecoms such as AT&T and Verizon (Confusing; Why does one need to go to Verizon or AT&T for an IP phone?!! HELL). OpenPeak is hoping to set a price inside the $200 to $300 price range.
This would be cool if the iPhone would connect to it and the iPhone would use the land line while in range!
