PDA - I had a WinCE thing I picked up, never really used it

DVD Recorder - Only in my PC.. 'backed up' lots of movies

WebTV - I think my current TV still runs WebOS..

3d TV - had one, wasn't suckered into the £150 active glasses and got a passive set where the glasses were about 10p. Had fun with it but it never caught on.

Raspberry Pi - Loads of the things..

Internet radio player - I guess my car counts.
