I have been thinking about what devices and services I would like to see introduced in the next few years.  These are somewhat random and not in any particular order.  Some are things I want and some are things I would like to see made available to the public.  Here’s my current list:

• Foldable OLED 7’ OLED screen for Blackberry and IPhone for e-book reading and web surfing.  IPhones are a lousy way to read a book and Kindles et al are another clunky device I don’t want to carry around.  OLED screens will have the clarity, contrast and color suitable for book and magazine reading as well as web surfing. 
• Blackberry or IPhone with 2 Camera video conferencing.  I love IChatting with my family and want to be able to do it when on the move. 
• Electric guitar that plays the notes and cords I want without having to hit all the right frets and strings.  In other words, a self-correcting guitar that has the song programmed in and can act as a teaching device as well as a jamming device.  A piano along the same lines would be nice too.
• A personal music player that comes with a subscription that includes 12 new songs per week based on my preferences and the popularity of the songs.  The songs are download daily over the air and appear in a playlist for the day including previously released songs based on my preferences.  I like the IPod but I don’t like having to constantly download songs on to it.  I also don’t particularly like Rhapsody or the other music services because they don’t deliver the new stuff or the older stuff in an intelligent way that makes it easy to play whenever and wherever I want. 
• A car that doesn’t use gas and can go 350 miles and can cruise at 80+ mph on whatever alternative fuel or energy it uses.  Fuel cells or electric would be fine.  Anything that costs the same or less than gas.  I would even pay more to avoid sending money to people that want to kill us. 
• A device that can save someone form choking on food.  The Heimlich doesn’t work well enough and there should be a device that solves the problem. 
• A personal device that keeps bugs such as noseeums/midgies, mosquitoes and green-headed flies away.  I would be fine with a separate device for each pest such as a device that emits a frequency that we can’t hear or an odor that we can’t smell but keeps the little bastards away.  The sprays are annoying and don’t keep the bugs from swarming and dive bombing. 
• A pair of sunglasses with built-in monitors that simulate a 40’ TV monitor.  The glasses need to be cool and light, not like the current Jordie-looking things that are out now.  They should look like glasses and have a wireless connection to a IPhone/IPod/PDA and a mouse/keyboard simulator. 
• A personal security system that can signal when there is a threat rather than rely on a conventional alarm system.  The system would be based on the person rather than the place.  The system would warn you if there is a person with malicious intent in your area/personal space.  It would be programmable and would have a connection to a monitoring service and Police. 
• A gun/pistol that has a biometric trigger so that only I can fire it.  Nuf said.
• A simple and effective test of my genetic make-up, physical condition and lifestyle that can pinpoint problems, potential threats and things to avoid.  Using some blood, a piece of hair and/or a scan, I would like to have a complete virtual physical that includes my genes.  The tests out there now are not effective, much too costly and can lead to paranoia. 
• A exercise system/device that can exercise several targeted muscles area at once and provide feedback and track progress.  The concept is a round cage-like ball that includes handles, straps, resistors, and sensors.  Imagine climbing into the circular cage and exercising arms, legs, torso, back, etc. by pulling, pushing, squatting, stretching, bending, etc.  The system would deliver the equivalent of 1 hour of stretching, Pilates, weight-lifting and resistance traning in 20 minutes. 

That’s enough for now.  I have some more but I don’t want to overdo it.  Besides, I couldn’t afford all that if were available anyway.
