OpenFrame: ‘The iPhone of home phones’
The OpenFrame is a home phone envisioned by John Sculley, former Apple CEO – that resembles Apple's iPhone. Designed to be used with services like Verizon's FiOS. It features a large, bright touch screen with a very iPhone-like interface of cuddly icons and touch keypads, as well as some standard phone handsets you can use to just make calls.
The various devices are built on Freescale MX31 processors "with two 600-MHz ARM11 chips doing the heavy lifting" for features like streaming video, music, web surfing, and more. According to the manufacturer's chief executive, the heavily subsidized phones could be shipping out in four or five months straight from the carriers.
