iDect iHome Brings Android to Your Landline Phone
With all the innovation that has surrounded the mobile phone in over the past five years, it is amazing to see how little your cordless landline phone has evolved in the same period. Sure, chalk up to decreasing relevancy as many shift to cellular lines only, but someone has to be looking out for the technology that started it all in the first place. Enter the iDect iHome phone system, a cordless home phone that has more in common with your current Android device than your old landline connection.
Running on some unnamed version of Android, the iDect features much of what you’d expect from a smartphone: email, apps, and cell-style contacts manager. Specs include 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi, a 320×240 color touchscreen, and expandable microSD memory, and you get all of the standard fare from web browsing and email to YouTube and media player. The whole thing clocks in at 100 euros.
