Wondering what Sony has in store for the summer of 2010? We can't tell you, but we can give you a few clues. A device called the HID-C10 "Home Information Device" has been given the full FCC once-over and, while confidentiality clauses keep the juicy bits secret, we do know that it somehow connects to a TV and that it possesses 802.11b/g wireless. Our first guess is that this is a simple WiFi adapter for Sony's internet-streaming televisions (http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/14/netflix-hitting-internet-capable-sony-bravia-sets-today/), but with a name like "Home Information Device" it could be something a bit more, possibly letting you do a little home automation on your HDTV between Modern Warfare 2 matches. It's anybody's guess, but we're inclined to believe that fiddling with thermostat settings in your home would be more exciting than hanging out at Home (http://www.engadget.com/tag/sony,home).Mystery Sony "Home Information Device" unveiled by FCC, purpose kept secret (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/mystery-sony-home-information-device-unveiled-by-fcc-purpose/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Wed, 16 Dec 2009 07:51:00 EST.
