[LINK] Telstra's attempt at an iPhone - for the home

It made me laugh when I saw the video (references to group sex in the news is always an eye-catcher), but never underestimate the general public. They've clearly taken some effort to replicate part of the iPhone's interface.

So why would this be attractive to anyone? What is the T-Hub offering that other internet-connected devices already offer in the home?

Are we all expected to crowd around the T-Hub looking at movies or surfing the web? (I assume it won't be portable, otherwise why offer a cordless handset in the package).

Thoughts, Linkers?
