Intel even has a specific app store designed for Edison, and a special version of Wolfram that will come to the tiny computer
To demonstrate the potential for Edison, Intel showed a concept for a "Nursery 2.0."

In the concept, a onesie outfitted with sensors is used to track important details like your baby's temperature, and that information was then displayed on, of all things, a coffee mug.

When the baby was comfortable, blinking lights on the mug show a happy green smiling face, but when something is wrong that face turns red.
A much more useful application, however, involved using Edison to switch on a bottle warmer when your baby starts to stir, that way it's ready come feeding time.
