When we covered NavNet in our CEDIA Expo preview coverage last September, we included the company among our “Hidden Gems,” grouped with up-and-comers in a “Dealer-Inspired, Dealer-Friendly Home Control” category. The Canadian company continues to generate buzz, but is still seeking to establish a U.S. dealer base to gain traction for this country’s market. One thing that may attract dealers is that the Calgary, Alb.-based company is rolling out native support for Apple’s AirPlay integration in its home automation controllers and HD media streamer. That provides clients even greater access… View this story

Some of your clients have spent a lot of money on a home theater. So it’s understandable when some say they’ll accept nothing less than 1080p. Warner Bros. doesn’t want to be left out of the mix, so it is now starting to make 1080p titles available on iTunes.

Apparently the folks at Crestron are mind readers when it comes to selecting product names. Crestron currently owns a potentially valuable product name: iPanel. Apple has been rumored for months now to be launching a flat-panel TV. One of the big questions is what will Apple call the product?

The latest rumor, from noted industry analyst Peter Misek of Barron's, Jefferies & Co., says Apple is… View this story

According to The Verge, Sonos is dumping the hardware for its multiroom audio system, in favor of software-based control methods.
