The ones Microsoft then killed... yeah. Well, I bought a few of the Viewsonic AirPanel’s for my home automation system and they work GREAT! Microsoft had a great product on their hands, they just targeted the wrong market. Instead of targeting the professional that is on-the-go, yet still in-the-home, they should have targeted the home automation industry."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/AirPanelViewSonic.jpg" /><br /><br />I remember the "smart displays" that once upon a time existed and actually miss them for uses just about anywhere. ;) It was sad that Microsoft decided to kill them and that the smart displays got less than flattering reviews from magazines that I have read. Just a little bit of refining would have done the screens justice, I believe.<br /><br />Well, anyways, it is nice to see that ViewSonic still believes in them (in a way) and are manufacturing them for home controlling needs. The included .Net framework sounds interesting, and I would really like to get to know more about that part. :cool: Read more on the ViewSonic specs <a href="http://www.viewsoniceurope.com/UK/Products/Wireless_Displays/v210.htm">here</a>, or the MPlus home controller enhanced device <a href="http://www.mplusint.com/products_01.htm">here</a>.
