Insiders say that Apple want to deliver a new digital home solution by 2008. But they don’t want it to be PC based. What they are trying to work out is how the device will handle both entertainment and automation applications. Steve Jobs is in the thick of it with some saying that the solution being worked on could be one of the best products Apple has ever delivered to market.

Didn’t actually read the article, but thought we could start reprinting some rumors.

And in any event: it’s time someone finally makes the Digital Home happen. They’ve been promising it for 15 years, and my refridgerator still doesn’t talk or shop.
