Abstract
"Five years from now," says Nate Williams, Motorola Mobility's senior director, head of product marketing for the Converged Experiences group, "you're going to see a dramatic increase in the number of connected devices. The number is about five in the average home now - tablet, gaming console, PC - and it's going to 15 to 20. You're going to have a home with more technology, and hopefully it will be managed in a way that's a lot more efficient."
In the home, it's "multiscreen" (televisions, iPads, laptops) with different shows in different rooms, much of it on demand. Some cable companies tantalize with an iPad app offering a small sample of live TV programming (no major networks) over a wireless home network. Comcast's AnyPlay, powered by Motorola's TeleVation technology, takes the next step: in-home access to the full cable lineup.
