Most of us would probably not use a landline any more these days, considering how cheap mobile plans are, and not having the need for a landline in the first place. Of course, there are others who prefer to stick to tradition, but I can say for sure that the number of landline fans are dropping as each year passes by. What happens when someone decides to take the old and merge it with the new? An example involving the landline would be the £89.99 Sagemcom Sixty Digital Cordless Phone, where it will come in a sleek design with an orange or chrome finish, boasting retro sound effects and light effects on the round dial.

Definitely an attention grabber no matter which part of the room you decide to place it, the Sagemcom Sixty Digital Cordless Phone has an LCD touchscreen display that shows off the time and date, while letting you access a slew of functions in a jiffy such as your digital address book. It holds up to 150 names and numbers, and you can also view messages, adjust settings and see who is calling via caller ID on said LCD display.

Heck, it even has an integrated answering machine, capable of storing up to 24 minutes’ worth of messages. Beautiful as it may be, I still think it is overkill for a landline device.

D-Link DSM-310 MovieNite streaming media player

When it comes to networking peripherals, D-Link is another name that can be trusted, although most of the time, we would think that this is placed one notch below Cisco’s Linksys brand. Having said that, I have used D-Link devices for a fair number of years now, and the wireless router has lasted me until recently, being a decent and faithful servant, it finally gave up the ghost. Well, today we are not going to talk about wireless routers or modem routers, but instead, will concentrate on D-Link’s latest release, the DSM-310 MovieNite streaming media player.

This is the latest device in D-Link’s entertainment product line, where the MovieNite streaming media player is said to be able to deliver instant access to an unlimited amount of 1080p HD movies and TV shows, in addition to personalized Internet radio directly to any TV without breaking the bank. It is a snap to set up, and when it comes to using it, easier still. MovieNite will offer a range of home entertainment content that can be accessed with but a single click of the remote control, where among the choices available to you include VUDU, Netflix, YouTube, Pandora, and Picasa. Oh yeah, did we also mention that you can view mydlink-enabled network cameras as well?

Walmart carries this $59.99 MovieNite streaming media player as an exclusive, so you will not be able to find it on shelves of stores elsewhere. Thanks to the integrated wireless and Ethernet connectivity, it is a snap to connect to a home network, while HDMI output is there to enable you to stream HD movies up to 1080p, with composite audio/video connections capable of breathing new life into any analog TV, transforming them into Smart TVs instead.

Last but not least, the free MovieNite remote app will be available for iPhone and Android-powered devices, turning your smartphone into a remote control.
