The unbreakable screen is real tech around the corner - I recently saw a news article about putting the essential "last mm" transistors on plastic instead of today's glass. I have a hard time beliving that will give a roll-up display - the mobo and battery would be tough to shrink, and a half-curled mildy shiny display sucks. The screen can stop being a liability, though.
I'd like to see a dual screen setup, so it can fold neatly in half. It'd be really slick (but expensive) if the mating screen edges tucked in from the hinge when folded, but come to a close mate while the thing opened. I imagine the movement being origamical like the old Thinkpad expanding keyboard.
Uncorruptible metadata. I've had to nuke my search cache, I wouldn't want to drive across country to do the same for grandma.
A barcode scanner. Amazon could give you a competing bid on anything you're looking at on a shelf. Sucks for the retailer, but isn't that what capitalism is about?
A Microphone. What were they going to do with that, again?
