As soon as mobile phone technology included cameras, games and text messages, the land line home phone was no longer interesting.  The people at OpenPeak feel that there is an opportunity for homes and businesses that still use land lines– an opportunity to make that technology cool again.  The OpenFrame Home Phone Communication System by OpenPeak brings all the bells and whistles of an Apple iPhone to your home communication environment.  Between standard talk features (that are available for VOIP users as well), the OpenFrame is also an internet communications device, a satellite radio system and a personal organizer.  This device allows its users to use google tools, watch youtube videos, search for cooking recipes, manage their calendars and listen to music.  These are features that carry a lot of value at home, away from the computer and independent of your mobile phone.  In all, a pretty exciting little tool.  [thanks gizmodo]
