[Full-disclosure] Great application for the Pinnacle ShowCenter 200

[KF (lists)]

What the heck does this have to do with Full-disclosure?
Short of the fact that this product is Bluetooth based (which could lead 
to fun)... I don't get why you are posting this here?

Maybe you and /bugsywinter at yahoo.com can set up your own list to talk 
about your super duper ereet0 p1ut0 h0m3 5y5t3ms. Or even better... use 
their friggin list! http://plutohome.com/support/index.php?section=mail

Unless you are screwing with the Bluetooth pairing, or trying to 
impersonate the phone that controls Pluto take this conversation elsewhere.
