At Von I met the team behind mVox who make a cool device for hands free anywhere. One had it hanging off his name card, and you can see from the picture this is a small speaker phone device. It's being sold for car and conference use. I saw it and had another use in mind. With Bluetooth and a modified SkypeHeadset it could be your voice activated or always on box whereever you are. Simple drop it on the countertop while cooking or the table at dinner and the almost "always-on" family sharing could be taken to a new level. This product would be enhanced with a SkypeAPI interconnect.
