CES 2008: Panasonic Link to cell (cellphone via landline)

Why dont people just forward their cell number to their home in place of voicemail. It's free and it works even when your mobile doesn't have reception. People could also by a reception booster for their home for about 35 USD

I like this product. We have a VOIP box as well and this would work great in conjunction with it while our mobiles are on the charger.

So... basically using a landline-like phone as a gigantic "hands free" device for your mobile. I can't think that it would genuinely be useful unless you are cursed with bad reception at home: the main advantages of a landline (whether via VoIP or not, I assume) are low cost of calls and the fact that it's got a geographically static number (ie, if you answer, you're home).

awesome, about time someone made this.

So where are the skype via bluetooth software, or blutooth to landline adaptors with appropriate software? I guess a microcell at home is easier.
