What's the next best gizmo to hit the shelves?

We've got the Wii, the PS3, MP3 players, Blu-Ray, PMP players, digital cameras, eBook readers, flat screen monitors...what's next to get excited about?

Is the world of technology limited to upgrades at the moment (faster this, greater battery life for that)? The most interesting thing I've heard about is digital ink. The PS3 glove also raised an eyebrow for me.

But with blue ray we might be able to have interactive porn movies using the glove.

With the eyecam as well maybe even get ones own appendage in the movie.

I think we will start to see a consolidation of devices. At the moment though storage is still to big for this.

Eventually there will be wireless internet phones with 100Gb storage, cameras and gps included. We are getting close to this, but the big storage for large music and av collections is not there yet.

Didn't I see an article on smart clothing?

Clothing that is gadgets.

The electronics are literally the cloth/material/fabric of the clothing with little interface pocket the detach, like breat pocket video screen, wireless ear buds as collar ornaments, multi-funtional buttons and clasps. The color and pattern of the clothing can change much like the wallpaper on your PC.
