Another Android-based Hardline Phone + Detachable Tablet

This image has no alt text

Remember that Cisco Cius phone that doubled as an Android tablet for the business professional? Well this little guy out of Japan – called the Nakayo – doesn’t look nearly as cool, but it’s built on the same idea – your hardline phone (home or office) is Android-enabled, and the touchscreen doubles as a detachable tablet.

What’s especially cool about this thing is that you’ll be able to continue any phone call you’re on with the tablet, so being tethered to your desk isn’t a problem. It’s SIP based, though, so don’t run out and grab this one up if your employer doesn’t allow SIP-based solutions at the office.

Other neat functions include video calling enabled by a front-facing camera and the ability to browse the web over Wi-Fi. Memory is expandable to 32GB via a MicroSD card slot so we imagine a media player of some sort is included. Look out for this one to drop in July. [via CrunchGear]
