Pat Phelan: Bits, bytes and telecomsMobile, Roaming and Social Media

I couldnt let this go without writting about it. Tony Fadell, the man who oversaw 18 generations of the iPod, announced the first product of his stealth startup Nest Labs  on Tuesday: a  thermostat

I read this story on my iPhone yesterday morning and was thinking “a flippin thermostat” . then I did a little research and found out there are 250 million of them and every one more useless than the other.

How many of you have woke up freezing in that American hotel room?

Nest solves this and there’s an Irish angle, hello to my friend Johnny Gilmore.
