AT&T Home Manager Smart Touch Panel
Posted on Sep 22, 08 10:50 AM PDT

AT&T Home Manager Smart Touch Panel Created to add value to the wired telephone line, the AT&T Home Manager is a 7" (800x480) touch-panel (seen here in its dock) that is designed to be the home "window" to a number of things like:
- Address Book
- Web Information Listings
- Yellow Pages
- Visual Voice Mail
- Photos
It's not clear how it syncs the address book - if this is a familly device, it would be nice if everyone could merge their contact list. Overall, this is an interesting experiment, although we doubt that there is a strong demand for it. But if the pricing is right (very cheap or free), this might get some traction.
