201 Product line? How about bluetooth and Wi-Fi?

<< < (2/3) > >>

GWCS:
Actually, you said:

You would need to connect a bluetooth phone to the Obi and then the headset to your phone.

At which point I reminded you that I had previously stated:

Yes, I am aware that one could purchase an additional piece of hardware that would provide bluetooth capabilities... (clearly I was alluding to a landline style phone with bluetooth capabilities when I said "additional piece of hardware", hence the superfluousness.)

Whether the Wi-Fi capability came via a dongle or an internal antenna was a wholly separate issue, but I admit that I like your notion of a small dongle because one could upgrade the dongle if a newer/faster/better Wi-Fi protocol emerged down the line without having to purchase a new unit to achieve the upgrade.

Of course I understand the additional hardware would up the price, possibly significantly, but if there were to a be "Obi 200 series", it would be nice to have these features. Of course, they could and should continue to sell the 100 and 110 models.

Ostracus:
Maybe the prosumer or SOHO market would be a better fit were higher costs are tolerated and more features expected.

Perhaps the USB port on the OBi202 will be used to provide WiFi access.
I think there must be a lot of smaller hotels/motels/vacation condos with landline phones
paying $30/mo; an OBi202 which can connect via WiFi could be a significant cost saver.
But it has to be simple and integrated; too easy for a guest to remove a USB dongle.

It appears we have a winner! Take a look here:

Here’s one use for the Obihai OBi202′s USB port: WiFi connectivity

Ostracus:
Wonder if that adapter is 5 Ghz?
