If the story is not correct. Then we wait for the "Big News" post from X10. With the feeling we where duped.
"....the feeling..."
It won't be just a feeling, it
would be a dupe. One has to admit, pretty ingenious. Sorta like the furniture store that would have a "Going Out of Business" sale every month. But it will destroy the remaining customer loyalty that X10 users may still have. And X10 needs to keep that capital. Also, just like the furniture store, it only works (good) once.
The one thing that makes me think it is real, is the fact we have heard nothing contrary, and X10 is now selling competing remote control products on their web store.
