Matsushita Electric Shows IPv6 Desk Lamp

Matsushita Electric demonstrated an IPv6 desk lamp that can be remotely switched on/off via its Ethernet connection. While the lamp is not expected to be a commercial product, Matsushita officials told the Nikkei news service that the ability for a simple device to advertise its presence on an IPv6 network could be applied to other home electrical appliances.http://neasia.nikkeibp.com/wcs/leaf?CID=onair/asabt/news/240540
