Abstract
There is disclosed a personal access device (PAD) capable of browsing web sites on an Internet protocol (IP) network and also capable of operating as a cordless phone that provides a conventional phone connection or a voice-over-IP phone connection. The personal access device comprises: 1) a radio frequency (RF) transceiver for wirelessly communicating with a base station coupled to the IP network, wherein the RF transceiver transmits IP data packets to the base station and receives IP data packets from the base station; and 2) a PAD controller for executing an Internet browser application and displaying web pages associated with the web sites on a display screen of the personal access device. The PAD controller is also capable of transmitting voice data to, and receiving voice data from, the base station via the RF transceiver.
