Posted in Android by Conner Flynn on November 4th, 2010

Binatone just added a new land line telephone to their lineup. One that runs on Google’s Android OS. The Binatone iHomePhone is a DECT cordless home phone with a 2.8 inch display and a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, It is capable of running the same Android apps as your Android smartphone.

We like it because it looks like a UFO powered by Android. Some other features include a microSD card slot and a battery that will give you up to 80 hours on standby.

Ringboxx: Personalized ringtones for your landlineIf you have a family member who still uses and relies on a landline, you might want to get them a Ringboxx from Home Phone Tunes so they can get in on the ringtones action. Ringboxx lets you program ringtones for individual callers on their landline, just like you can do on your fancy mobile phone. The user can purchase tunes from the Home Phone Tunes Ringtone Store and then they’ll know instantly who’s calling without having to use caller ID. Somehow I don’t think they are going to sell many units, but I look forward to more grannies out there using rap ringtones. Check out a video below.
