Amazon is selling a Jarvis unit called Echo
Not exactly Jarvis it just reminds me of Jarvis from the Iron Man films
edit: its actually called Echo but the Amazon commercials family named theirs Alexa
It's a cylinder that's connected to the internet and you can talk to it

$200 is too high of a price point plus you need multiple units in a house. It would would be awesome if you could link them together, so if you play a song on one it would play the song on all of them. Also if you could sent voice messages each individual unit. You could sent a message to a unit in one of your kids rooms or a message to all the units. Even better if you could chat with other people using the unit.

It's quite a bit more, and it's not really the quasi automation like this, but I'm quite impressed with the "Sonos" system
We use them in some of our sales centers/show homes and between 4 different units, 3 different floors and 6 speakers it's seemlessly synced to one iPod in the office

I really hope I get selected because for the $99 price tag it's so worth it just to mess around with it for a bit. I would so call it Jarvis as well lol
Sonick is a genius. I won't go into detail what's so great about his post. But it's damn good!
