Developers are conquering… the home
There are a lot of things that we’re not going to be able to
build. We want to work with developers who bring other
great ideas in the mix. […] The iPhone was great - it had 5

The opportunity in the home is going to be pretty close.Tony Fadell
ex-Apple, CEO Nest
