ooh!
So, that’s for a landline phone line!? Very cool.
I could use it as my alarm clock in my room, maybe…

why would you pay the 10-20/month when there is wifi and such things as skype?

Awesome. I’ll take 3 (one for each floor of my house) and perhaps hopes for:
- accessories that allow control lights & fans
- integrated universal remote (similar to Harmony)
- self detection & config for intercom functionality
- remote view for front door camera & door lock operation
