In the Dynalite scenario they also have a webserver module where you
can
create custom pages to do what you like via any browser based device - I
tried my Orange SPV M3100 at their demo and it worked well enough on the
screen using Wifi to connect. This would avoid the need for proprietry
in-wall touchscreens. I would prefer a bit more screen real estate to play
with so I'm waiting to see how the new range of tablet machines progress -
I
like the Samsung Q1 but its poor battery life and lack of charging cradle
really rule it out on practical grounds. I doubt it will be too long before
a manufacturer deals with these issues.

Is it just me or do these graphical screens built into the wall near
(probably) the door entrance seem really rather inconvenient for the
high price they all charge?

In most cases I'd want (well have) something straightforward for
switching the lights on (several scenes etc) but something portable
for all the other stuff (i.e. I want to pick the tablet up). Having a
dock on the wall might be good though.

All this is clearly possible now from homebrew to Crestron etc so I'm
just surprised to see new stuff of the fixed screen variety introduced
- seems so passe to have to get up to switch music sources;-)
