A company "Savant" are set to build a coffee table powered by Apple to run iTunes at home.



The idea is that from the coffee table on can use a 40" touchscreen that is fully integrated with iTunes.

The table is powered by a Mac hidden in the table. It will access a user's music, photos, movies and provide home automation functions. From the coffee table one can select to show movies, photos and other video on a home theater system, or can run music and pipe it through the home using a home audio system.

This is similar to what was announced by Microsoft except that the Apple innovation connects a table to iTunes.

Not sure I like the table, maybe it might be made available in a selection of furniture some of which may be more appealing than the table shown. Posted by: Elwyn Jenkins    Source
