Media phones bring a rich Internet experience and opportunities for converged services to the home and business
Envision something a bit smaller than a laptop with a touch-screen and a cordless handset.
Now imagine that this same devíce is "always on," ever ready to deliver the latest news, weather and traffic, help find restaurants or movie listings, alert you when the baby is crying or when someone is at your front door, and play your favorite MP3 songs or YouTube* videos while looking up a new recipe for dinner tonight.
It consolidates your family contacts, calendar and to-do list.
And when you're not using it, you can use it as a digital photo frame accessing photos from local storage or online photo sharíng sites such as Flickr* Snapfish* Picasso* etc.
You can even network with your friends and family using social networking sites like Facebook* MySpace* etc. All these without turning on your PC or squinting at the small screen on your cell phone,
A devíce small enough to sit comfortably on the kitchen counter, or on top of a desk or bed-side table.
It is as passive as a traditional phone, emitting no heat and no noise. However, it is much more than your traditional phone. It provides convenient, one-touch access to entertainment, information, directory services, home monitoring and more while keeping your family and household organized. In addition to delivering the wireline voice quality you're accustomed to, it actually makes you feel good again about using your home phone with quick access to contacts and visual voicemail.
At Intel, they call this device the "media phone." Think of it as a "command center" for the home, providing easy access to the most popular and frequently used applications that are currently scattered among several different devices. And you can package it all in a way that's fun and easy to use - so easy that even your parents and grandparents will enjoy.
Media phones represent an opportunity for service providers and OEMs to deliver converged services to consumers. Intel is facilitating speedy development of media phones through its Intel Atom processor media phone reference design.
OEMs can use this blueprint to accelerate delivery of flexible solutions, Service providers can choose a commercially available Intel* architecture-based media phone to bring their rich new services to market quickly.
Media phones bring together a variety of rich Internet applications, traditional telephony service and local personal management tools in a unique, easy and f un-to-use device.
