Hospital Bed Remote Control
Love the icons, especially the "I'm in pain" one.
Amtrak Train Car Door Control Console
Seems awfully complicated for what could only have a few states (unlocked, locked, open).
Washing Machine Controls
It's funny that most washing machines don't have a start button (you just pull out the main dial), yet must dryers do, even though they also frequently have one big dial that could be pulled in a similar way.

An example of those email devices that never caught on. My grandfather was extremely puzzled by his.
Note the position of the cursor manipulator way up in the right corner.

Note the colored keys. And the handle!
By god, that is one tiny screen.

A little smaller and this could be a neat form factor for a mobile device.
