A self-operating iron is great on its own, but if it is able to learn, so to speak, that is even better. How great would it be, having bought a shirt from a fancy store that has a different sort of fabric that you've never experienced before. Granted, you could always look it up but if you were going to do that you would probably iron the shirt yourself. Instead, just download the settings from our database, which is you are able to access on the iron itself.
Being able to access application software remotely makes the whole process even easier. Through the same wireless connection, your iron can 'talk' with your iPhone or Android and make the process even easier. They make many apps that use your smartphone as a remote control, so adding the feature to update your iron with the latest fabric patterns would be a no-brainer.
Unfortunately, I do not think I would be able to charge a fee for this information. The Internet makes microtransactions like this pointless due to the proliferation of knowledge, thanks to Google. However, it would be easy to integrate PayPal or a credit card system if there was ever a need for it.
Also, people should be able to create profiles so they can share ideas. I know that it would not be a heavily used feature, but you can be a fan of almost anything online, so I think that there should at least be the option. But clearly, the biggest plus side with Internet connectivity is having the ability to download different fabrics to make the lazy man's life even easier.
