I want a washer and dryer that can send status information to my PC.
'Time remaining in the cycle' and 'load finished' information ( in an
email) would be good. We have the technology for this.
I saw an article about a new commercial washer that can wirelessly
notify people when their laundry is done, but I haven't seen it in
home appliances yet. Do any of you know of any companies working on
such products?

That wireless notification technology has existed for years -- it's called a
buzzer.

The LG Tromm has an optional "remote" accessory that you plug into any
outlet in the house and it will tell you the time remaining for the
washer; don't know if it also talks to the dryer. It cost $149 last
time I saw one; the washer itself was $1499.

Thank you for your constructive response. The LG Remote Laundry
Monitor sounds like a step in the right direction, but I'm hoping that
they will continue to develop the device.
