The touch UI`s developed by the open source organization Enlightenment Foundation Libraries & allows users to control the variety of fridge functions like internal temperature in addition to runn`g apps 4 notes, calendars, contacts, photos, & recipes. All of the particular open source code modifications developed 4 the fridge`ve also`en shared back w/ the community in Tux-approved fashion and`ll soon B posted to Electrolux’s site too.
