I'm grabbing me a copy and hanging onto it. I'd throw uPnP (http://www.upnp.org/) into your device management and control bucket. It was completely below the radar for me until I decided to redo my home audio setup. Previously I had a nice amp in the living room driving a couple pairs of remote speakers. I bought a netgear wireless digital music player, that talks to uPnP server software allowing it to plays MP3 on my server, which I then fed that into a switchabe line level wire that I ran through the whole house and hooked to a batch of small sets of powered speakers. The Netgear software that ran on the server wasn't so great though. Then I found twonkyvision (http://www.twonkyvision.de/), a web-based uPnP server that is device agnostic (and serves streaming internet audio without the $20 annual fees that netgear wanted). uPnP should make it possible for me to eventually have a WiFi remote that controls the audio through the whole house (and twonkyvision has open source uPnP stacks and a plug-in architecture). Perhaps a nascent tech for NEXT year? Dood! - What a great wrap up of the stuff we’ve been working on and paying attention to over the last couple years! I’m grabbing me a copy and hanging onto it.
