From the designer of the iPod, a "smart" thermostat that can learn. Tony Fadell, who oversaw 18 generations of iPods has created a very cool device. This thermostat wants you to make adjustments the first week of use. It then creates a schedule based on what it learned from the temperatures you prefer. 

It is available 11/28/11 but it's open for pre-order on their site now: http://www.nest.com/
