I'm not kidding about that product name - but this fridge offers a couple interesting options, including the ability to connect to a network for confirming a couple statistics. What?
Hitachi Home & Life Solutions will release "The PRO FREEZER!" refrigerators which support home networks, beginning in November.
By combining the fridge with PC and communication adapter set, services such as fridge/freezer status confirmations, timer functions, operating change, utility expense aim and door open/close count can be used. These services are offered to registered members for a cost.
The lineup consists of three products: the twin-door type 465 and 416 liters, and the 415 liter single-door type. They include the "Triple Fresh Freezing" system which will drop the temperature to -40 degrees Celsius, tripling the freshness retention. They are Open Price.

As I work at a Hitachi subsidiary and have a small fridge in my cube, I merely ask if this fridge supports 802.1x authentication so I can plug it into our corporate LAN. One of my cubemates also requests fingerprint ID so we can find out who has been stealing our soda. |

Sorry, as far as the press release goes into the network setup is that you use a "network connection adapter." So I can't say :( Fingerprint ID would be bitchin'. Another goon had the idea of a webcam inside the fridge so you could tell what you had to eat without even opening it. I don't remember the thread, but it sounded like a valid request to me. |
