There are a few WiFi enabled plugs available that can be controlled (e.g. the thing plugged into them can be turned on and off remotely) using the company's phone apps, such as:
LightwaveRF Wireless Control Plug-In (controlled via iPhone/Windows Phone apps)

Belkin Wemo Home Automation Plug (again, controlled via their phone apps)

Thanks,
Conor.
