Motorola launches Connect To at CES

The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas will kick of within two days and the first snips of news are slowly dropping in. One of the first that reaches me today is about a new family of connected cordless phone systems from Motorola that give families one-button access to the many ways they can communicate in and around their homes.

Through an innovative "Connect To" button on each handset, the new Motorola C51 and SBV5400 expandable cordless phone systems provides access to landline, Voice-over-IP calling, cellular service, home intercom, live streaming video, shared family phone books, high-speed Internet, and even push-to-talk-over-instant messaging -- right from the palm of your hand!

The phone system uses Wi-Fi friendly 5.8GHz technology. The Motorola C51 and SBV5400 will be available in Spring 2006.
