Archos 35 Smart Home Phone
First up is the Archos 35 Smart Home Phone, which Archos describes as ‘the best of a DECT phone and a Smartphone for your home’. This innovative device combines the functionality of a traditional DECT phone with the advanced features of a smartphone, making it a versatile addition to any household. It comes with a range of features including MP3 ringtones, caller photo display, and the ability to run Android apps. This means you can check your email, surf the web, and even use social media apps directly from your home phone.
The Archos 35 Smart Home Phone also supports video calling, making it easier to stay connected with friends and family. Its sleek design and user-friendly interface ensure that even those who are not tech-savvy can navigate its features with ease. Additionally, the phone’s Android operating system allows for customization and the installation of various apps from the Google Play Store, enhancing its functionality beyond that of a standard home phone.

Next up is the Archos 35 Home Connect, a portable Android device designed to stream music and radio around your home. This device is perfect for music enthusiasts who want to enjoy high-quality audio without being tethered to a specific location. It features a pair of high-definition speakers and a built-in touchscreen, providing an immersive audio experience.
The Archos 35 Home Connect allows you to stream music from over 50,000 web radio stations, giving you access to a vast array of genres and artists from around the world. You can also load your own music onto the device, making it a versatile option for both streaming and personal music libraries. The device’s portability means you can take it with you from room to room, ensuring that your favorite tunes are always within reach.
In addition to its music streaming capabilities, the Archos 35 Home Connect can also function as an alarm clock, weather station, and even a digital photo frame. Its multifunctionality makes it a valuable addition to any home, providing entertainment and practical features in one compact device.
