Yes, this is a thermostat, but it's no ordinary thermostat. Its from Tony Fadell, he's someone who helped design the Ipod and decided to start his own company. I like the fact that he felt that thermostats are in our homes and they are a ugly piece of hardware. He basically redesigned it and made it cool :-) It not only looks cool but does cool things too, like learn on its own, and glow red when it's heating and blue when it's cooling. It shows the black color when your away from it and lights up when your near it. It's also has wi fi, so you can program it with a free app. I think I may have to get this for my place :-)

I love when functionality gets updated with a slick look. Creating modern faces for our ever present needed devices is such a fun idea to play with. How would I take a thermostat and make it not look like it has been sitting on my grandmother's wall for the last 50 years.... something to think about.
