If you are talking about embedding that functionality into the camera, why would you, you'd still need a pc to talk to it to set it up. Easier to make drivers for it that PHD/Maxim etc can use.

Not true.
If you were at Cambroon this weekend, you'd have seen Paul's TV Guider (Yet another thing I now need!) Its a stand alone guiding setup, where a small camera is in the guide scope, and plugs into the TV Guider control box, then an ST4 lead from the TV Guider control box into the mount. Thats it.. It has a small (3" ish) LCD on it to display the field of view, and a few buttons to control it... but basically, thats the No-PC answer to autoguiding.
