I haven't seen any personally, but what I'd like to see is manufacturers fitting RJ45 ports and flashable EPROM's to all consumer devices.
Take something as simple as those Slim-MP3 players. It's just some basic electronics with a flash ROM onboard. It loads a simple Linux Kernel and a custome-written Perl client that connects to a custom-written server which happens to run a streaming MP3's.
Manufacturers could quite easily build that sort of function into a TV, Hi-Fi, games console, anthing really. You can then load different clients into the device, connect to a PC-based server and stream all sorts of services - MP3, video, multi-user games, etc..
You can connect them to any existing Broadband connection and get stuff streamed off the net too.
At least then, you can manage everything from your PC. It would even let manufacturers update their equipment via the net. You could download stations for your hi-fi's radio, apply updates to your TV's firmware to give you more features, anything really.
Network everything, that's my philosophy
