Will Santa be delivering Hometroller Mini - Not quite yet.
I am starting to see some base touch standards for most common touch screen methodologies from the point of sale side. In the 90's one of the first point of sales systems was called Squirrel and it ran off a very basic one floppy disk unix terminal boot box with a touch screen. The "big brother" to this technology in the 2000's with development of a 6,000 client based middle tier product originally developed in the EU. Today Las Vegas has a network of all encompassing one network (city) kiosks spread out all over the city; restaurants, hotels, airports, care rental agencies, etc. (OK drifting a bit here)
It would be interesting too to have a choice for an optional all encompassing linux based hang on the wall combo touchscreen and mothership; such that it would be an all in one "do wat" with multimethodologies of input: ie: via a touchscreen interface, custom built client UI, remote client UI, etc.
We have a Linux client now and will continue to support that. However, with all the cheap Android devices (Kindle Fire at $199), I think that is the best platform for the client.

Thanks Rich for offering us some great insight to the future of Homeseer!
Yes the Android tablets are quickly moving to the masses and are here to stay. The ultimate remote control for the home and reasonably priced such that having multiple android tablets will be the norm very soon. Even the older over 60 crowd seems to be attracted to the all encompassing reasonably priced android tablet; easy to use and priced just right for the average consumer.

Yes! The hold up was getting HS3 finished, which is close, developers are working with it now getting their plugins going. Should have a beta out in Jan. The HomeTroller mini will follow.
