A desktop phone with the heart of a cellphone
Cloud Telecomputers’ Android Glass phone is a desktop phone that has a corded handset and is meant to stay put on a desk. But it also is loaded with Android, Google cellphone OS. Wha?

After we’ve tossed all those TokyoFlash mystery time-telling devices in the trash, we might just migrate back to having the time told to us in words, displayed in five-minute intervals. Sometimes that’s close enough.
Cloud Telecomputers announces Android-based Glass platform for desk phones
It may not be the first to come up with the bright idea of putting Android on a desk phone-esque device, but upstart Could Telecomputers may well be the most ambitious, with it boasting that its new Glass platform “makes the desk phone relevant again,” and is “smarter and more powerful than your ’smart cell phone.’” To that end, the company has basically paired a full-fledged, 8-inch Android-based MID with a plain old corded phone, which will let you do things like dial numbers directly from your Outlook address book, pair up a cellphone via Bluetooth and, of course, take advantage of a whole range of Android apps that should put most other internet-connected desk phones to shame. As you probably picked up, however, this is still a platform and not an actual product just yet, but Cloud Telecomputers does have some pretty heavy backers behind it, and it “anticipates” that the first phones should be available sometime in the first quarter of 2010 for between $599 and $699.
