Creston iPanel Home Automation Controller Adds a Bunch of Buttons to Your iPad
Posted in: ipad, Today's Chili
Apple’s design team is known for a lot of things. Buttons aren’t one of them. Steve Jobs hates buttons. Hates them. He hates them with the fire of a thousand fiery, fired-filled suns of fire. Take the iPad, for example. The thing has practically no buttons. Snap one of these iPanels on, and it’s like BAM, button city.
The new device from high-end home automation company Crestron turns the iPad into a control panel, adding buttons galore. The $500 iPanel has 13 dedicated buttons for controlling your home’s music, lights, etc.
$500 seems a bit pricy for a baker’s dozen buttons, but if you really think about it, you’re likely saving a couple thousand bucks off of a dedicated controller. Plus, when the controller comes off, you’ve got an iPad out of the deal. Win-win, really.
