We’ve seen Android invading the fridges of a few, but now Google wants to officially invade your home. Google wants to think of “every appliance in your home” as a potential accessory for your phone, making your phone a remote control of almost everything. Cool? Depends…

The team teased ideas like lights turning on and off based on calendar events, applications talking to washing machines, games automatically adjusting for mood lighting, and basically little green Android bro taking care of all the menial duties in your house. Sounds good to me, for now.

Google demoed at their Google I/O event a concept, Android-powered device hub called Tungsten. Using RFID embedded into CD cases the device was able to detect the CD and add it to your library. Another touch and it started automatically. Yeah, the use of CDs is a little quaint, but the potential is there for amazing things in the future. We’re not sure exactly when these accessories will be launching, but the first are expected before the end of the year.
