Very cool.

Would be great to use one of these with an iphone rotary dial app.

Nice - shame they seem to be only for the iPhone. If someone made something like this for my HTC, I'd be very keen.

Once again, it seems like all the clever accessories for devices are being specifically catered to Apple products. If they made one of these for the Droid phones, maybe I would get one too.

I took a look a the phone base, it seems the phone is connectec through a Ijack, or USB cable, so wouldn't you just be able to switch the cable? Or am I missing something?

I doubt the phone has much in the way of programming inside it so you're probably right. It's probably just a glorified headset. Other phones can make use of many headsets that work on iPhones, so I don't see why this wouldn't work with other phones. You could probably even make your own with an old telephone and a decent headset from Radio Shack - stripping out the meat of the phone and attaching a strategically broken up headset where it matters so that everything connects in the right spot.
