A lot of ridiculous convergence products will be rejected by consumers before manufacturers stop converging them. Still, some of them are going to stick, and I think one idea that will is Net radio-enabled stereo systems like the Philips FW-i1000. It’s a mini-system like you’d find in any dorm room, but with a network port that allows it to access hundreds of Internet-based radio stations. Heck, if the combination of television and the Internet seems inevitable, then radio and the Internet is practically a done deal.
