Perhaps they should first sort out how to get Bridge to work with their own hardware before they start mucking around with my toaster.

Well. Did you get this view from empirical evidence of using an Android enabled refrigerator? Can we not have an intelligent conversation on Crackberry? I suspect any product manager that tried put out that type of fridge would get fired before the product was release.
Also, IOT is not just about "smart appliances" for your home. Of which your example is very poor. The general case of smart appliance is regulating energy use in conjunction with smart meters, times of year, etc. The larger context of IOT has wide ranging uses. eg. smart sensors on road that determine traffic patterns they let vehicles determine better routes. Smart sensors in the electrical grid that make use of weather patterns, back-flow demand, and behavioral data to router more a less electricity to a certain area. M2M or IOT is about embedding intelligence into machines that make better choices faster with larger amounts of data than can be grasped by humans. Providing a webpage or youtube on a fridge is simplistic at best and orthogonal at worst.
Really ??? Needless insults??
Your right. I edited my post. Thank you for pointing this out.
Skynet...*shudders*

Right back at ya. Do you have any data to back this up?
Yes, check out the PDF I supplied in this forum post. The analyst reports are not public domain but here is a similar article http://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1263083 . Now please provide data to back up your claims.
Same as Microsoft buying Danger, they would not listen to the Danger staff - they all left and Microsoft killed Danger then the Danger servers off (read the world biggest IT software company did not utilise all its WWW servers and back up if you will be a ***** to believe that) what a waste...
They learnt from it though how they handled the purchase and after management - and Blacksoft will a come ;)
More chance you get a bridge to your toaster than any BB MOBILE PHONE device ;)
