A practical device would work on all platforms, when does Belkin plan on moving it from just being an apple toy?

There is an Android app now for controlling the WeMo, it is just a Beta version and does not do everything it should until the final version comes out in the summer, but it should work to some degree at least.

We have already launched the official WeMo App for Android devices. Check out this link, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.belkin.wemoandroid.

Hello, depends on what you mean solid state, if you mean integratred circuitry, well then yes, these products have come so far ahead that there are very limited moving parts, if any at all. I can just say that IPAD is a good product for a number of reasons... it depends if you like apple platfoms which are a bit proprietary and limited or more of an open platform as comes with Anderoids.

When will they be available?Looks great combination of features & price-I really want a good viable alternative to the Apple.It will support/play Adobe Flash too, which Apple doesn't, & it's High Def, which Apple isn't

Yeah, I would like to know that as well. Guess will have to wait until the new iPad comes out.

The apple TV is a small device to stream media, not a display. It's been around for years but wasn't very successful.An apple HDTV would be another story, but one analyst expecting it in 2-4 years doesn't make me very confident. It would be nice if they did enter the hdtv market!

I'm not totally convinced though. It shouldn't be a big deal to do a slight update every once in a while, even if it's only every few years (and maybe only bug fixes, or whatever).I am really disgusted by the state of the PDA market though. If things had been progressing the way they were, we'd all have 1Ghz+ devices running full blown preemptive multitasking/protective memory OSs, that can juggle media, documents, etc. around with ease. And instead I'm desperately wishing I could still buy a Sony PDA from three years ago :-(

I'm astonished that Amazon believes that I own this device. I have, however, been searching diligently for information on this very subject. The best estimate/guess for general release is perhaps the middle of November. Apparently the W700 has experienced limited release in just a few major markets. The surprising element to me is, considering the vast number of articles previewing this and similar devices (all touting an Oct. 26th release), is the silence regarding their absence in the marketplace.

Not having a MAC, I researched and found on the Amazon site where I purchased mine: For Business Presentations & Personal Media Sharing, USB Plug 'n Play instant set up; Apple Mac and PC Compatible. Also, additional features include adjustable tripod, 1280x800 VGA input support, 1920x1080 HDMI support, Micro SD Card slot, USB port, composite video input, and 3.5mm headphone jack. Our show season is starting next week, and although we've tested it, I don't remember the wireless part...Sorry about that part! But it's a great little machine. The 2.2 lb. shipping really refers to the 1 1/2 lb. box! This little guy is phenomenally light!!

The specifications on the Belkin site states: "PC running Windows XP (SP3 or greater), Windows Vista, or Windows 7". That would lead me to believe that it does NOT work on an Apple machine. You can always visit the Belkin site (http://www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F9L1002/) yourself, and give Customer Support a call, but my guess is that you need an Apple-specific product, because as the previous responder indicated, you need to install software, and as we all know, PC and Apple software are very different.

Wake up netgear.If this was a Apple product I would have gotten a response by now!

It would be nice, but I don't know. I think that's why they have the Android-based XIOS box.

I think there will be the native capability soon, due to the fact that the Zune 2 has the functionality and that people are asking for it. Either Apple will do it or independent developers will since Apple is releasing the SDK...

It needs to be a fairly thin device. I don't think it was designed for much more than a MacBook.

No online collaboration either :( They have some new pay-per-use thing 'in the works' (according to a contact) but by the next version they want all person-to-person stuff to be a paid service.They will be indistinguishable from Apple soon, even the help sections will be a paid for 'service' arrangement.

I have used mine on Mac mini hardware with both OS X and Linux. It is plug-and-play on all platforms. Very easy to use.

Apple tries real hard to make normal things not work with their products. Their business model is external incompatibility so they can extort premium dollars from drinkers of their juice. It might work on the audio side, but I'm pretty sure controls won't.

Hi The device was design for Windows, and we will arrange some test with Mac OS.X. Please give us a few days, and we will post the result again next week
