Japanese propose a fridge running on Android

Android group in Japan proposed to equip refrigerators with Android in order for the them to communicate with the cloud. In a futuristic scenario, the Android fridge would have LCD, cellular radio, browser, barcode reader and RFID sensor to intelligently track the expiration dates of food and decide what dishes to cook based on the fridge's contents and online recipes. If some ingredients are missing, the fridge would take the initiative to do online price comparison and order the delivery. As an additional responsibility, the fridge might have a sensor to detect an earthquake and communicate the data to the server.
