Resurrected Full-Screen VoIP Phones

Posted by timothy on from the device-of-the-future-of-the-past dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Looking for a suitable VoIP phone, I came across these Full-Screen Thin-Client Phones. Not only do they do voice, but they also have a 480x640 screen running at 65K colors and run a number of apps remotely via VNC. They seem to allow a lot more functionality than normal phones, and look really cool too. The site says they have 70 phones running in their office. This seems the way forward for telephony-computer convergence in the 21st century. A document at the end of the page explains their approach and has some cool pictures as well."

    With this affordable video phone, now all I need is a practical hover car and society's promises of things I would have by the year 2000 will be complete.

    Better late than never, I guess!

    Actually, that's pretty much how most telemarketers I've spoken with (however briefly) talk.
