Be was also very forward thinking about Internet-connected home appliances. In 1999, they hired me to create a UI for a prototype touch screen "kitchen manager" -- for planning meals, ordering groceries, and handling personal communications. They were very shorthanded at the time, so they left it up to me to make everything. I wound up shooting video of myself for the "video email" portion (scary!).
Many months later I was surprised to see the prototype appear on a ZDTV segment with Jim Louderback. Sadly, I only have a low quality digitized VHS recording of the episode (never been able to find a good copy online).
