My gut feeling is that if the Amazon Kindle were to be released at a very very low price (say $40) then it would dominate. I just dont think thats going to happen though

My guess is it will all migrate to multipurpose devices like the iPad. I have a home weather station that tells me the temperature. I'd like a display that also monitors energy, shows me the headlines, the traffic on my way out, a photo of who's calling on the phone, phases of the moon, high tides, pictures of my kids, anything I want. It's just a display, after all. Seems silly to have dedicated devices for everything, each of which costs money and clutters up the house. So this will all move to software in another year or two, by the time the utilities are ready to give us the info. Tendril for the iPad, 2011.

It's amazing that anyone would pour so many millions into producing a big glass touchscreen when there are so many inexpensive devices already in existence that could do the same work. For example any of the myriad of $1.95 picture frames with just a software change. Those frames are stocked floor to ceiling in factories and warehouses, no one is buying.

Hexane riots in China aside, does the energy saved even outweigh the energy expended in manufacturing the device?

Katie, this announcement illustrates one of the conclusions of your January 22 post "Why The Consumer Will Be King of Home Energy Management in 2010." As the consumer energy management market develops, being user-friendly will be even more vital to success than being utility-friendly.
