The usefulness of IP phone such as SNOM for voice service is very good. Since these ip phones are always connected (with a valid IP address) how about using them to deliver information such as stock, movies etc? In my mind, in order to do it, the phone must fit with a reasonable-sized LCD and support HTTP so that information could be written over from the remote servers. I am just wondering whether you know of the existence of such phones. Your comment will be appreciated.

Cisco phones gave a menu system that uses XML files served from an HTTP server.
Intertel makes a very expensive one that does this - the intertel model

We have used the XML interface on Cisco 7940/7960/7970 phones to
display custom menus, weather reports, outage announcements, etc.
Public information on how to do it is here:
