Home phones do not keep up with the rapid evolution of their younger mobile brothers, but certain attempts are being made to modernize standard models. For example, during CES 2008, a very interesting OpenFrame device from OpenPeak was shown, which, in fact, is a stationary version of the iPhone for home use.


OpenFrame is equipped with a large touch screen that holds many icons that open access to new features: viewing the schedule of television programs, sending text messages (including SMS), weather, browser, streaming video, music player, IP telephony, etc. All additional functions are revealed only when working with network services, like Verizon FiOS.

The similarity with the elements of the iPhone interface is not accidental, because behind the back of OpenPeak is John Sculley - a famous top manager who has served as Apple CEO for ten years. The head does not hide that OpenFrame was created under the influence of the philosophy of Apple. The phone is based on the Freescale MX31 processor. The model operates on the basis of its own OS built on Linux. Third-party developers will be offered an SDK. Operators themselves will sell OpenFrame, as part of the promotion of Internet services. Price promise to make low. The release will take place in four to five months.
