Open source project to get gadgets talking via the net

Webinos is a 15m euro ($18.4m; £11.8m) project supported by more than 30 organisations, including the EU.

BMW, W3C, Sony, Samsung and Telefonica are among its commercial partners.

While other operating systems that use the internet to connect devices to each other already exist, most are pre-installed and cannot be customised by individual users.
