PC-based media centre in a wall-socket

This is pretty cool — a prototype wallplate with three sockets, a USB port and a hard-drive, for use as a home media appliance.

The original brief by ComCom was to design a remote control. Thank Toshiko, he looked further than the brief and designed a line of 22 integrated electronic products. One of them is this wall mount triple socket. It has a USB port and a built-in hard disk. You can store music and movies in it and send them to other products in the same product line. The system will be shown in October in ComCom's show apartment in Tokyo.
