I must say, the BeoCom5 does look pretty, but will anyone actually buy it?  Probably not since it will probably cost an arm and a leg.  But before you poopoo this relic of a landline device, consider that it can also work with IP telephone systems and includes some new fangled speakerphone that doubles as a dock for the handset (pic after the ‘leap’).  Other features include DECT 6 connectivity, 400 person contact and 100 hour standby time. …Continue reading: BeoCom 5 Telephone From Bang & Olufsen Is Just That

It was just this past February when Verizon officially put their Hub touchscreen VoIP device up for sale.  At the time it required a 2-year contract and $200 to get aboard, which is and was one of the many barriers to the device’s success.  ‘Was’ I say?  That’s right, the Verizon Hub has already been discontinued purportedly due to floundering sales, poor technical support and probably a whole slew of other reasons.  Engadget received word back from the company, which falls just short of admitting the Hub’s demise.  It’s a bit of a shame considering how cool it could have been, but when a product is flawed it is quickly represented by sales numbers or in this case lack there of.

Verizon Wireless, like many companies, continually changes and updates the products and services it offers to customers. Our sales teams in all channels will continue to focus on providing our customers the latest and most innovative wireless products and services. Verizon Wireless will continue to support existing Verizon Hub customers with post-sale service or support.

Is it me or do all these approaches to the unconventional keyboard seemed flawed out the gate?  I mean, the Versa’s modular keyboard idea is great but it’s far from practical when compared to the iPhone or Palm PRE.  And Samsung’s latest patent filing is no exception to my aforementioned rule.  It calls for a smartphone that like RedBull, gives your phone wings.

Well, okay the phone can’t fly but hidden on the back of the phone is a QWERTY keyboard that is divided in half onto two spring loaded and hinged wings.  When not in use the user could simply fold them up for storage and use the touchscreen handset as normal.  But here in lies the problem: the wings appear to be thin and wide, and based on some Newtonian physics would make for an awkward typing scenario; kind of like trying to hold a bowling ball with two Popsicle sticks.  Perhaps a utility belt would provide a resolve, you know, to hold it up and all.
