New App Targets 50 Million Unused iPhones, Turning Them Into Wireless Web Cameras and Remote Assistants

"The necessity to buy special hardware and the complexity of setting things up has delayed adoption of the Internet of Things," said Gene Wang, CEO of People Power. "We will speed adoption by pressing into service millions of old but still-smart phones to create a no-cost solution that starts small but easily expands to ultimately control many devices in the home. And People Power Presence is so supremely simple to use and setup that any smart phone user can do it on their own in minutes."

Tom Kerber, Director of Research at leading industry analyst firm Parks Associates, said, "Using an old iPhone provides a no-cost starting point for home controls. The People Power Presence App therefore brings the freemium model to home controls."

From the press release, "New App Targets 50 Million Unused iPhones, Turning Them Into Wireless Web Cameras and Remote Assistants."
