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."

      Umm.. that's not off-topic. It's informational discussion on the phones that the article is about.

      Dang it, no moderation points.
