Ily is a new device that is meant to allow users to stay connected to their friends and family while they are at home. It is aimed at replacing your conventional outdated home telephones with something more technologically advanced and useful. Although it functions very similar to a smartphone, it in fact is more similar to a tablet especially in terms of size.
Ily has an 8 inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 1024×768 pixels. It will display icons of family and friends which can be tapped to get a quick list of methods to communicate with them. Ily can be used as a regular landline phone but once you connect it to the internet, it gives you access to a variety of features.
Ily can work as your regular landline and also connect to your smartphone thus allowing it to be used as a speaker or headset. Ily comes with free apps for both Android and iOS so that users can interact with their loved ones when they are travelling. It even lets you draw and share images, access Spotify etc. You can have multiple units of Ily in one home and even share content between each other.
Ily is available at a discounted price of US$ 199 if you pre-order it now. The price will be bumped upto US$ 299 upon launch. You also do get discounts if you purchase more than one unit. If you purchase 2, you get each at US$ 189 or if you purchase 3, you get each at US$ 185.
