You may have heard about Nest - the
learning thermostat created by Tony Fadell, who ran the iPod and iPhone
divisions of Apple for years and who many consider as the "grandfather
of the iPod".
Nest is a revolutionary new digital
thermostat that sports a gorgeous round design with a slightly domed
glass screen. It comes with built-in Wi-Fi and allows you to control
the thermostat from anywhere using an iPhone or iPad or computer.
We're telling you about the Nest
thermostat as it looks like Apple will soon start selling it in their
retail stores, according to a report on 9to5Mac.
a trusted source
was able to provide a first hand look at the Nest packaged at an Apple
Store today, complete with the part number. Priced at $249.99 (the same
as Nest’s price through Nest’s online store), the Nest has a part number
of H9279ll/a in Apple’s systems.
Our source
wasn’t able to say when the Nest will be going on sale at Apple Stores,
but was able to inform us that it will be soon. Deliveries of the Nest
are currently being made at multiple Apple Stores, but we’re hearing
whispers that the thermostat may not go on sale at all stores
simultaneously.
That's a big win for Fadell's startup. We're assuming that it will also be available in Apple's online stores.
$249.99 is quite high for a thermostat,
but according to Nest, you will recover the costs in less than two years
through energy savings by turning heating and cooling down
automatically when you're not at home.
We'll update this post as soon as we get any further information on its availability.
