Omnitel - the Italian mobile company part of Vodafone group - has already launch such a service: it is called Omnipay.
The service is divided in prepayed and on-phone: prepaid is working as described for Deutsche Telecom, while on phone is the possibility for customers to confirm transactions done with their credit card on the Internet with an SMS (which contains an order specific code) originated by their personal mobile telephone.
In my opinion Korganizer should be reingeneered to become client-server and to use postgres as backend... if this will happen thet will be an alternative..
Wouldn't be usefull to know which are the instructions that won't be supported in the new version?
For example if mouseover won't be supported anymore, some webmaster would like to know it ASAP... (and hopefully to know what is the replacement for it)
Does anyone know where is possible to find a list?
Well, not only lights... you can controll the thermostats via web (or voice), or check if doors and windows are locked while you are already at the office, dial to an ISP by saying "check mail", etc.

there are many possibilities..
Linux has all the potential to be the core of a homeautomation system... Voice control could be just one part of it...

Now we just need someone that integrates some function in PHP and we can controll the house via web.
Well, if Viavoice will provide voice controll and KDE a desktop interface, what will stop world domination even in this area?
