Today there are seperate devices for digital picture frames, Wheaterstations and musicplayers.
Why not combine the devices... and go a step further...

Let’s develop a device which can do some basic things for us, but also respects the difference in people’s interests and preferences.

HomePortal is basically a touch-screen which is strategically placed in a living-room. A fingerprint reader is attached so different family-members can easily identify themselves to HomePortal. Every user has a profile on HomePortal so they can customise their own user-experience. So every family member can use the same device, but adapted to their own preferences...
