GE’s DECT 6.0 phones to feature the GOOG-411 key
Google’s GOOG-411 free service that includes speech recognition to help users find and connect to businesses from their phone is now going to be available on GE’s DECT 6.0 phones as the handset will feature a one-touch, auto-dial GOOG-411 button.
Thomson and Google both companies have signed an agreement for the same. The first phones in this new product line are likely to be showcased at CES. The phone look is rich gloss black and has a unique wavey design for the charger base.
Other Advanced features include True Digital Sound for enhanced audio, expandability up to eight headsets, larger easy-to-read LCD display, built-in clock and alarm and answering machine speed control. Call-ignore, a digital answering system, message playback speed control and polyphonic ring tones.
The new GOOG-411 enabled phones will be available in April and will be priced anywhere between $50 to $100.
