Seriously. We’re not kidding this is a real story as it has been reported that allegedly Google plans a move further into the homes by announcing a project known as Project Tungsten at a recent developer conference. It would seem that Google fancies approaching the household appliances market and will integrate appliances with wireless technology and Android.
As part of the initiative, the company will be offering its own lightbulbs, thermostats and dishwashers, which will all communicate with each other as well as we assume Google. It’ll let Google know where your dishwasher is at all times and your dish-washing preferences.
The idea is you’ll be able to control the lot with devices running on Android, rebranded as Android@home.
What this essentially means is that the tablet will act as a remote control meaning you can cultivate that obesity you’ve been thinking about. Standing up? Not anymore.
The Telegraph reports that eventually Google will introduce near-field communication so that a device will only have to touch a speaker to get specific songs playing.

When or even, if, we will ever see Google Appliances in Europe remains to be seen.
