Sooner or later, we'll be able to have poster-sized e-ink displays, which will drive digital photo frames off the market.
Soon I think we will have large lightweight multifunction displays (TV, Monitor, panoramic vistas, photoframes etc.) that we can hang up using transmitted power or very long life batteries. Makes my head hurt to think about it, but would still like to see it.
