Is Anyone Using OSGi

An Anonymous Coward queries: "OSGi is a Java technology for allowing third party venders to control your domestic appliances (Fridge, Front Door, Security System etc). I have been tasked to implement OSGi apps, but cannot find any working examples, is anybody working on OSGi applications?"

Sure the extream uses of this kind of technology are generally crazy at best, most of the subtle ones are over looked, and just creep in little by little.

Wouldnt it be nice to just press a button on your PDA, so by the time you step in to your kitchen, your coffee pot you set up before work has just brewed perfectly. Or turning off the oven because that 'One pint' with the lads turned out to be a few more, and you don't want your dinner you left in the oven to over cook because you wont be back in time to turn it off.

At some point, somebody will do something with just the right amount of 'GeeWizz' and functionality to make a great product...
