A Landline iPhone-Clone They Call OpenFrame

Wow, another gorgeous piece of hardware! The future is looking good, folks. The future is definitely looking up.

Well, it looks like Apple started something here, and, as expect, won’t be finishing it. Phone company OpenPeak is working on a landline phone that will work very similarity to Apple’s iPhone concept.

The device will feature a large touchscreen, with applications such as calendar, news, weather, and much, much more. So much more, in fact, that you’d be surprised. OpenPeak is actually planning on releasing some sort of SDK package for their upcoming OpenFrame phone, which will allow programmers around the world to release applications for the landline phone. Sound familiar? It sure does.

What I personally find cool about this, however, is the fact that you can use this as a digital photo frame and an internet radio.

My final thoughts on OpenFrame? Just buy the iPhone and be done with it. Why have a landline phone, when you’re already paying bills for a cellular phone which you can always have on you? Doesn’t make sense, right?

Anyway, if you’re still interested, OpenPeak plans on having this landline phone available for purchase sometime earily 2009, for a set price of around $200 - $300.

I’ll admit it though, nothing takes away from the fact that this is the greatest looking landline phone I have ever laid my eyes on. The future, my friends, is looking good.
