We’re still several years away from a device that can successfully combine a computer, phone, handheld, digital camera and music/video player, in a size/weight/price combination that’ll make most techies happy. But I’ve already got that device on my wishlist!

We should be able to purchase windows that are pre-fitted with transparent (or close to transparent) solar panels, that can collect solar energy and transform it into electricity.
