It's been hard to stay quiet about this, it's a cool device.

But what's going on with the rest of the HA products?

What do you mean? They aren't going away anytime soon, and our apps work on the AirPad.

You mean the web-based interfaces for AHP, right?
What about a "local network" version of MyHouse, which wouldn't need to connect to the external servers, and would work over WiFi?

A built-in X10 RF transmitter would be a nice addition for the next model (which, of course, will have a DIFFERENT model number than the current one, right? ;) )

Where's the phone?   :'

And, I'll second noam's request for built-in (or even USB plug-in) RF though the WiFi connection may reduce the need.

I am unable to comment on plans and development, we are listening though.  >!

Years ago, I designed an IR transmitter with a CF card form factor. PDAs running an IR application became a programmable universal remote. Something similar here would sell like hotcakes (that probably dates me) compared to the $1000 MX3000 and various Pronto touchscreen remotes. It could use either the USB or µSD connectors.

Of course, IR & X-10 RF would be even more desirable.

I noticed it does Flash. How about HTML 5? Since I've long used HTML 3, HTML 5 would be an easier geezer conversion.
