Media Center Patent Gives Sneak Peek at Future Apple Media Hub

Not sure if this will ever see the light of day, but looks like Apple's looking at expanding their media center-ness. Tough thing with this type of plan coming from Apple, is that all the hardware has to be bought from Apple, so it won't be cheap.

Gizmodo

Each Apple component you own will have a software module that plugs into this Module Controller. The software modules will have all the menus and commands for each particular device. So when you fire up the Module Controller (be it from your iPhone or your iMac), the Module Controller will recognize which software modules are plugged in and it'll show you what menus are available to you. Once you make a selection, the Module Controller will recognize what gadget you're using and will make sure the menu/interface you choose is displayed in the right size and format for the gadget you're using.
