Home Automation-Smart Everything?

I have been interested in home automation for years.  I have done a fair amount of research and I plan on implementing some different things in my house.  A Nest thermostat is going to be my first purchase.  I plan on adding motion detectors for lights in the house.  I am also going to put speakers throughout the house and on the covered front porch and the back deck.

There is a new device I just read about called Electric Imp that looks amazing.  Appliance makers can add a port for about $1 and the device itself is about the size of an SD card and should be available for about $25.  If they can sell some manufacturers and really get some market penetration, it could really move the era of connected home devices into the future.
