As markets grow they often segment. The device won't be all things to all people, but it will be optimized for movies, surfing, photos, and essentially pay a price of portability. For those of us who just want a kickass way to control our home ste…

i-sight could change the colors based on ambient light in the room, possibly sense where light comes from in the room and cast shadows on objects based on this?
