The Sega Dreamcast ran on Windows CE, and had a built-in modem and (I
think) Ethernet. It came with either a CD that had a web browser on
it, or the browser was stored in ROM. It's been a while since I've
used one, but my friend had one that we used all the time. Web
browsing was made much easier with an option keyboard, since you had
to do the game of selecting letters with the controller if you didn't
have a keyboard. I don't remember if you could save anything (images,
etc.) to the memory cards, however.

The memory cards themselves were pretty neat, as they had an LCD
screen and their own sets of controls, with which you could play
mini-games that were downloaded from the Internet or off of game
discs.

Sorry if I'm driving off-topic even more, but I found it interesting
that the Dreamcast tanked in the face of competition from the xBox and
PS2. It was certainly more versatile.
