My Top 10 Technology Wishlist for 2010
Friday January 08th 2010, 5:46 am

Here are some things you’re not likely to see this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, but would be nice if we did…

10. Free Kindle book download when you purchase a physical book through Amazon. Touchscreen and color screen Kindle with the capability of using a Stylus like pen to highlight and write notes in the margins.

9. Kindle notes and highlights syncing with Evernote.  Also, Livescribe Pen syncing with Evernote.

8. Livescribe Pen with a quality and smooth roller ball pen tip instead of the cheap ball point. It’s an expensive pen – I’d like a good writing experience please.

7. 3D TV’s and Monitors that don’t require glasses.  There must be a way. Let’s make it happen.

6. 3D Wii Nintendo video games. Wow, that’s going to be cool!

5. Pleo available for $50. A Pleo relative – a lifelike and indestructible robotic dog that will play and entertain my real dog.

4. Large OLED networked digital frame to display photographic art that turns off automatically at bedtime when the lights are turned off.

3. iTablet connectivity with a new Apple TV, and Apple TV available with a monthly subscription for unlimited viewing instead of nickel and diming me with every download. Also, Slingbox functionality, so I can view media on the iTablet while traveling.

2. Got to plug Boxee. Boxee’s big play should be to offer live TV (goodbye Comcast). It’s in the networks’ interest to expand access to live content, so make it happen Fred Wilson.

1. A ruggedized and waterproof iphone or nexus one phone with much slimmer form factor with directional sound (and mic) capabilities, a technology that concentrates acoustic sound into a narrow beam that can be projected, so I don’t have to mess with bluetooth accessories.

What are your short-term technology wishes?

    Matt, RE: #2. Comcast reigns supreme here in Philadelphia. Comcast’s purchase of NBC (or a portion of it) is considered very strategic will lead to what you’re suggesting. I’ve not tried it – because I’m practically part of the prosaic era – but I’ve heard that I could do this today with our blue ray dvd player, internet and our current tv.
