So where is Apple and their home phone now? We need one.
Verizon has stepped in with
their new Hub using VOIP, with 800x480 touchscreen and neat little widgets for family use:
I think this will be a year of home convergence. I have an HP Touchsmart in the kitchen, which is used by everyone for surfing, weather reports, TV Guide, notes and especially video Skyping. It can DVR too, with a cable attached. Also has voice control. It just needs a landline phone connection as well.
Nokia's been working for years on integrating smartphones with home entertainment systems and so forth.
Should be fun. Can't wait. Apple needs to be in this arena, and not just with Apple TV.
