2010 Deliberate Utility 10 Wants

1. A decent battery powered digital picture frame. (None of my other picture frames require a power cord)

2. Multi-touch on the new Google Phone - Nexus One.  (This will probably be my next phone)

3. XMPP support for Yahoo's Instant Messenger. (I'd rather use Google Talk or iChat but all my friends are on Y! IM)

4. The end of AT&T’s iPhone Exclusivity (It's time)

5. Mass commercial availability of lossless digital recordings (I'm kind of a audio quality snob, 320kbps or higher is a requirement for my MP3 library)

6. A webcam that can be used with large flat panel televisions (It'd be cool to have a video call w/ my family on my 42" from the comfort of my couch)

7. A break-through in battery technology which drastically improves storage capacity (It's 2010, I should rarely have to plug my laptop in the wall by now)

8. An online service that sells vinyl LPs and delivers the MP3 file of the album as an instant download (Personally, I like the sound of vinyl better than CDs but, I don't want to take the time to convert a vinyl album to MP3)

9. High quality audio streaming from the internet in my car (think Pandora in your car - SUUHWEET!)

10. A NCAA D1 Football Playoff! (Sorry, I just watched the Fiesta Bowl)
