You remember Peter Hoddie, right? He was one of the original
QuickTime developers at Apple. He left in 2002 to help found a startup called
Kinoma, which started life developing multimedia players and browsers for mobile devices. Kinoma was acquired in 2011 by
Marvell Semiconductor, whose management kept it as a separate entity.
The latest creation from Peter and his crew is the 'Kinoma Create,' AKA the 'JavaScript-Powered Internet of Things Construction Kit.' With it, they say, you can 'quickly and easily create personal projects, consumer electronics, and Internet of Things prototypes.'
EE Times mentioned it in March, and they're not the only ones to notice this product. Quite a few developers and companies are jumping on the 'Internet of Things' bandwagon, so there may be a decent -- and growing -- market for something like this. (
