AT&T talks about linking iPhone with U-verse, home control

by Darren Murph posted Sep 16th 2008 at 1:10AM

We've already seen that Apple's iPhone is a mighty fine home controller, but it looks as if AT&T bigwigs are just now getting wind of that. At a recent event where the company showcased some of its newly developed technology, it talked up eventually linking the iPhone and its fiber-based U-verse service. More specifically, the iPhone could be used "as a remote control," and iPhone owners could also listen to voicemails on their television or watch recorded shows on their handset. There's no word on when said features could eventually be rolled out, but may we implore AT&T to spend more on U-verse expansion before making it even more awesome for those lucky enough to have it?

or they should focus on reducing the price! I have TWC and u-verse as an option. u-verse is a good 30-60 dollars more per month....no thank you.

Really? My bill went DOWN 60/month when I left TWC and I got so much more.
