Smart Strip power strip

Maybe I'm late to the party, but this is the first power strip I've seen that controls some of the outlets based on the power state of a control outlet. The Smart Strip Power Strip

features advanced circuitry that not only offers excellent power surge protection and line noise filtering, but is actually able to 'sense' the flow of electrical current through the strip's control outlet.

This would be useful for turning off TV peripherals when the TV is turned off.

I dare you to count the number of low power modes in this device...

Alan Meier found this Io Intelligent Oven. Yes, it's networked (broadband required), it's an oven (remotely controled by browser or phone), and a refrigerator (there's beer in the oven!). I particularly liked the sabbath options. Note the technology enabling automatic clock re-setting in case of a power failure, which appears to require a constantly active broadband connection.
Anyone want to volunteer to buy one so that we can meter it?

TV with ambient backlighting

Philips has several flat panel TVs with ambient backlighting. The Ambilight FlatTV:

Using Philips’ proprietary color analysis software, the ambient light is blended to match dominant colors on the screen, extending the consumer’s viewing field. This use of custom backlighting reduces eyestrain, improves the perceived picture detail, contrast and color and creates a deeper, more immersive viewing environment.

In standby mode, the lights can be operated to any color and create a unique ambiance in the room.

Philips does not specify the type of lamp other than "Efficient low energy lamp," and the lighting can be dimmed by "Manual and via Light Sensor."

This is more evidence of Bruce's prediction that displays and lighting are converging. (From HGTV)

Altoid Set-Top Box

A prototype set-top box in an Altoid tin: YBOX. No power use figures, but no off switch either. Just the thing for all those analog TV's after the digital transition. But will you be able to get a coupon for it?

Displays Everywhere

Soon there will be displays everywhere in the home and this one from Phillips is just one example. It uses 12W when on and charging the battery (which lasts 0.8 hours), but does have an option for scheduling its on times. No mention of standby power level. At least it is not networked and so will not be causing increased energy use elsewhere.

USB Refrigerator

Not quite, but per the CEA's "SmartBrief" (citing the
New York Times), "CoolIT Systems's U.S.B. Beverage
Chiller uses power from any PC or Mac to chill beverages.
The gadget works like a hot plate or mug warmer, only
with an opposite, chilling effect.

Uses Peltier effect which I recall is inefficient compared
to compressor cooling.

DC power from an airline headphone jack

This company has an interesting device that "Simply by plugging in the cable to the passenger seat headset jack, the cable converts the audio output into regulated USB power."
Inflight Power

The Inflight Power cable uses an internal trickle charger that takes 3-5 min to fully charge, then outputs power to the attached device (phone, music player etc). It does this repeatedly, thus the cable charges the attached device every 3-5 minutes for 1 minute or less.

The company also offers standard "Gomatic" tips that convert a USB connector to a device-specific connector for DC power.

A Shower with a Low Power Mode

Toilets were the first plumbing fixture I'm aware of that can have standby power use (article, picture). Now, a new shower control from Kohler not only can have up to eight shower heads, but it also has a color touch screen and who knows what sort standby power.
