Smartphones are ludicrously under-used, so steal their brains

Re: I love utopian views

Quite - if your washing machine needs a super duper hyper computer brain then you are doing something seriously wrong and you are not safe to be living unsupervised!

Plus you would need to do it all by wi-fi not bluetooth or your laundry will stop every time you nip out for a smoke - unless the machine is smart enough to work on its own like the old supposedly-dumb ones are, in which case what was the advantage again?

Or this is going to be your 'key' for everything, nothing working unless your phone is nearby, to which the ultimate question of life the universe and everything: "What could possibly go wrong...?" on top of the version/vendor lock-in, drowning phone barely visible in the suds through the window...

But the 3d scanner thingy does look cool even if I can't see a price-tag (and by logical implication cannot afford it) and don't have an iphone anyway.
