Everyone's doing the "connected home". By that I mean convergence of PCs, TVs, digital content, media servers, internet-based content, homenetworking, mobiles, yada, yada. Way too much stuff to try to process or even capture right now. Below is an angle from Sony -- a TV that gets content from the internet. A Sony TV pulling up content from the Sony media properties cuts a shitload of middlemen right out of the equation. Interesting.
Anyway, the issue is making it easy. I know people that get overwhelmed when a third remote control enters the equation. I don't know the answer, but whoever figures out how to harness the power of convergence is a way that's easy to use will do very well.

Picture of 188 Suffolk St. being power washed (via kottke.) Yikes. Makes me think of when Steve's nephew (?) came to visit NYC for the first time and at the end of the trip Steve asked him what he thought about the City. After thinking about it for a moment he said: "It's dirty."
