Didn't they announce this this ages ago?  And it's still not in production?

What price point are they talking for it?

I think the stopping point for most LCD keypads or other 'in-room'
touchscreen devices is definitely things like motion video.  Users are
rather spoiled in their expectations, if it's not a plain text LCD screen
they'd expect it to have TV-like capabilities.  Everyone wants crestron
features but not at their hideously expensive pricing.  TAANSTAAFL.
