[Speculation] ZigBee for BB10

[LoganSix]

In the presentation at EURO DevCon by Thor, at 8:44 he talks about embeded OS in "cars, homes and even more vertical segments". Then there is a slide at 10:45 that shows the companies that RIM has purchased. One of those companies is certicom, which has a connection for ZigBee. ZigBee products include home animation.

So, since RIM now owns the company that provides the certifications for ZigBee alliance products, maybe they are going to allow for apps on BB10 phones to control ZigBee products.


Here is the ZigBee wikipedia page.

Here is a comparison chart for ANT+, ZigBee and Bluetooth. It is from ANT's site, so it might be a little biased.
