Belkin Routers Now With Apps

Anyone getting sick and tired of apps yet? Sure, they’re fun, functional and diverse, but they’re everywhere now. The luster is long gone. And I can just here upper management at all types of companies sending out memos encouraging the rank and file to find any excuse to insert the irritating buzz word.

The latest place that you’ll find apps is on your router. Belkin’s latest routers feature a host of friendly neighborhood apps designed to streamline your wireless computing. The apps assist with things like backing up data, playing music and working through network problems. Users can access the apps through the Belkin Router Monitor.

So now you won’t just have to worry about your computer running random updates and telling you extraneous information, you’ll get to respond to your router too. If that sounds like an agreeable future, you can get a Play Max router for $129.99. Other new routers with some app function include the Surf ($49.99), Share ($79.99) and Play ($99.99). [Gizmag via GG via Slippery Brick]
