The question would be, if there is a big enough market for this? The true Bitcoin enthusiast will buy this as a must have gadget, but the normal consumers will not see the value of this. They have no interest to secure the network.
In it's favor are the fact that it is fairly cheap, so it can fit into everyday gadgets, without the users even knowing that they buying into this. They simply buy the appliance with some extra features.

If you always wanted to run a Bitcoin node but did not want to spend $40 plus shipping on a Raspberry Pi, fear not because an even cheaper alternative is here. Today, the UK based company released the Raspberry Pi Zero, a brand new model priced at only $5. It includes a 1Ghz processor along with a Micro SD slot, USB outputs, HDMI output, and a few other components which are included in the other Raspberry Pi models.
Surprisingly, the tiny board is 40% faster than the original Raspberry Pi 1. At such a low price, you can setup a bitcoin node for about $15, factoring in shipping and the micro SD card costs. The Raspberry Pi Zero comes preinstalled with full Raspbian, along with an installation of Minecraft. The Pi Zero shows just how cheap computers are becoming, which is leading us into the next revolution – IOT.
IOT or Internet of Things is a phrase used to describe a network connected with physical objects such as microwaves, toasters, garage doors, house alarms, etc. Soon, computer chips will become so cheap to manufacture that your toaster will come preembedded with a wifi adapter and a processor. As a result, much more functionality can be added to simple physical things like a toaster and the network of physical things will evolve. Soon, it is going to be a norm for garage doors to communicate to a car’s GPS via wifi and open when it detects the car nearby.
