Yes.  Didn't really think it was that interesting.  Can't really see it doing any favours for the consumer.  :dunno:

It's alright turning the oven , the dishwasher and the washing machine on via mobile phone but it won't fill the bloody things! ;)

A colleague and I were hoping they might call it Carphone Curryhouse.

I've got an 'app' that does those functions, though quite reliable it would probably be very expensive to replace her with a newer version  ;)

My 'app' reminds me of Windows XP, getting on a bit but still mostly functional  :o :dig:
