The French firm is branching out with more gadgets for the home. Both run Android 2.2 Froyo and use touchscreen technology.
Archos said, "Both cutting-edge ARCHOS Android-based home devices feature front facing webcams and can be used for video calling, baby monitoring and even room surveillance."
We're still waiting for the specifications for the Home Phone but the Home Connect will have a 1GHz processor and 4GB of internal storage that can be expended with via an SD card slot. We expect the Smart Home Phone to have similar specifications.
The 35 Smart Home Phone is a combination of a normal Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) phone and a modern smartphone. It will run Google's Android operating system, like a lot of big name smartphones, and will have a front facing webcam.
It will have a 3.5in touchscreen and will be compatible with any ADSL box or phone line and uses standard DECT protocols. The webcam will allow for video chat and the phone will also run games like Angry Birds.
The 35 Home Connect is a multi-function hub type device. Its main function is internet radio with its stereo speakers but it can also use a webcam for video chat, as a baby monitor or for room surveillance.
Like the Smart Home Phone you will be able to download apps from the Android Market. Using the Archos Remote Control app you will be able to manage the Home Connect from any Android smartphone.
Both devices are expected to tip up in September along with Archos' next line of tablets that it announced recently. The 35 Home Smart Phone will cost £129 and the 35 Home Connect will set you back £119.
