More on yesterday's comments

I can see Nokia's new products doing what the X-10 appliances do, but wirelessly and with an ability to easily network with our computers and other electronic devices. Ever heard of X-10? (external link) It's been around at least a decade and much of it works well. Nokia's new line could incorporate many X-10 features for the home, and then go beyond it. With Nokia's technology I can easily imagine your refrigerator taking a picture of its contents, then sending the picture to you at the grocery store. Or having your Bluetooth enabled car noticing it needs an oil change, then scheduling an appointment with the mechanic.
