The Financial Times is reporting tonight that Cisco is going to enter the consumer electronics market.

Granted, Cisco is already sorta in that market -- What else you would you call its Linksys division's consumer networking products? -- but the company is now talking about going much further. While I don't find that hard to believe, the paraphrase in the FT implies that Cisco is thinking about radios, stereos, phones, and home theater equipment. That seems more than a bit much.

They might as well go for it, we already have home entertainment equipment and kitchenware with network ready/enabled connectivity. I think it's an interesting move. They must only watch for their pricing...
 
I think it's a great. I need a toaster with a firewall! What a killer feature, why hasn't anyone done it before . . . :p

I just need a toaster that does not burn my toast ... perhaps that is what a firewall might be used for ;).
