Either they beat Philips to the punch or this is a knock-off of their idea (well, it could be both), but Smarthome
is selling a bathrooom mirror with a 15-inch LCD TV embedded into it. From the pic it looks like it's just a TV with a
mirror around it, but when you turn the TV off all you see is a regular mirror. So good, because you really wouldn't
want to miss a second of Good Morning America. Oh wait, that's what TiVo is for. Forget it.

This was at the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas last year. It would be an accolade to them if they got it out by xmas this year, good time to market.

I think the Engadget crew have missed the point of this device (which is weird, because it's something they've been mentioning a fair bit recently) i.e. Hostage time.
I wish there were more gadgets that allowed me to productively use the 20+ minutes I waste each day in the bathroom shaving, brushing my teeth, showering, etc.
(of course, I don't really count TV as a "productive" use of time)

Only horny old goat would afford it and spend watch porn and do the naughty business. *snicker*
$3300 for a 15" screen! Seems a bit steep. I've been looking into something like this for my bedroom. I am going to try and build one myself. The only thing I don't know is if the mirror is anything more than an average two-way? If so, it looks like I can by the parts for ~$600, with a 17" LCD.
This will be cool for when ppl don't want the TV to be the center of the room, a good number of my friends keep their sets carted away in the closet.
ummm...you guys havent heard of STEAM?????
Steam? Yes, your mother and I generate quite a bit of it.
Oooh, burn.
