Casabi Funded To Give You Smart Phone Functions On Your Home Line

The a:c home phones are painfully stupid compared to our fancy cell phones. They have speed dial and that's about it. Comparing notes with our pals, we found most everyone's home phones are stupid. If we had it, Casabi would hook up to our Internet connection and grab weather reports and other functionality. Casabi will partner with telcos to deliver the functions but to date there are no partners announced.

Casabi has raised $10M in a second round led by Canaan Partners with previous investors Mayfield Fund and Vanguard Ventures, reports VentureBeat. Casabi's board also replaced Casabi's CEO recently.

Casabi's UI is kind of 1970's but it would be nice to have.
