Hands on with R2 app home automation on Samsung�s Galaxy Tab

Francisco De Jes�s October 02,2010
I think developers interested into develope a similar app for different mobiles OS  should watch this video, where sling media Blake Krikorian who made this app explains some of the first sights of it. He is going to make a Beta  Free limited app and a Premium for $99.- probably with the R2 name. On the video he is giving some advice for developers and a invitation to join this developing venture.

Would be nice if you make a similar app for webos, as well.
