There have been a few 'magic machines' for developing film over the last few years, but they are not cheap. i.e. the Filmomat[1] costs 4K Euros.
There are also some simpler products that just make the process a little easier, like the Lab Box[2] which basically just offers an easier way to load the film onto the spool. Developing B&W film with this type of machine is pretty easy and the chemicals are cheap.
