The rest of this article focuses on the current AirPlay protocol, which, as you’ll see, works but needed an update. We’ll revisit this once AirPlay 2 hits the streets. I’ll tell you upfront why I chose AirPlay: price. I’ve heard some pretty glowing reviews of Sonos—Steve has had Sonos for years and absolutely swears by it. He loves it (and takes every opportunity to tell me about it.) Sonos is the “it just works” solution, and I’ve heard almost no complaints about it....

Microsoft decided that the new Kinect motion-sensing camera peripheral will be a pack-in with every Xbox One. In fact, it’s a requirement for anyone who wants to play. The camera will be a major part of gameplay and much of the UI navigation will happen through the motion sensors. That’s somewhat like Kinect does with the current Xbox 360, but will be mandatory rather than an option, at least that’s the message we’re getting from Microsoft....

Commandr for Android Google Now doesn’t offer an API for developers, so Commandr uses the “note to self” feature to get its commands across.
