Nobody is doing that because it's very complex. You will need a lot of mature open standards or a set of proprietary ones to talk to the devices around you like that. Ironically this already works best within the Apple ecosystem. If you own an iPhone, Mac and Apple TV the integration to hand off calls and stream audio/video around etc is pretty good, while on the open side of things, stuff most of the time kind of works and breaks to often.

The other company that should be able to do this well is Samsung (they make TVs, phones and other consumer electronic items). In reality (and I own a Samsung Smart TV and have owned Galaxys) I felt their software was extremely crappy and I just ended up avoiding it.

Actually I used to work for Samsung, and I've been to their HQ in Suwon, Korea. It's a very corporate corporation, not an engineering corporation. I'd expect someone like HTC or a Chinese competitor to crack this nut first.
