with huge capacity of novel flash rams and dense hdds, and novel wideband wireless connections, i think, some altogether products, such as a video-mobile, playing shows, recieving and sending live videos of both sides; with gps, showing your position on the globe precisely, and even recieving satelite channels. and, very compact.
+i thing io2technology's novel display could make some sort of starwar technology posiible  .

Hi,
If you want to make money, try to build a hand held universal terminal with this functionnalities :
- UMTS phone with audio/video.
- Included PDA like applications with voice recognition (organizer, mp3 player, video player, internet browser, send/receive email etc.).
- Payment possibilities through WiFi.
- One week of autonomy without recharging.
That all for a price arround 300 - 400$. This the kind of terminal with which you will be able to do everything and without you will be able to to do nothing in a few years.

Software Radio is the future!
... joined to some smart phone terminal (a kind of pda/cellular with multiple functions) = multiple communications standards and multimedia characteristics (audio, video)
so, look for Software Radio and Digital Signal Processing

| High Definition Digital TV will bring many new entertainment at home with DVD, games, audio, PC will use it for display (notepads are too small, but too heavy) ... and host later for home appliances, links will both be wireless and power networks.

I also bet on such product. think about a device that combines computer, TV with a very big screen, broad band internet with a relatively small remote control. you can shop with it, talk (video conference) with your friends, check your Emails, watch and record your favorite programs at any time and of course surf the net.

| people are a fickle bunch to understand, as to what is the next major product out there, i honestly dont know, but i do know that there are plenty of gimicks out there that a lot of people tout as the next big thing, if you are looking for something that is going to be the next big thing (in terms of making money) i would advise you to look into batteries, ok not as glamourous as the ipod, but hey all of these portable products that everyone "must" have have to run on something right? develop a rechargable battery with no memory, very very long run times and it will be used everywhere in every mobile thing, just look at intel's recent acquisition.

I think hydrogen fuel cells and better batteries will be a big thing in the futurre.
Everything is getting battery powered and smaller and smaller at the same time, so it's important with very efficient rechargable batteries or fuel cells.
Digital class-D amplifiers are also getting very popular at the moment and there's a very big market for power efficent digital amplifires.
It's only in recent years that the quality of digital amplifiers have reached the same sound quality level as analog class AB amplifiers.
The IP-phone market will also expand enourmous in the comming years. Until now it has mostly been sold to big companies, but now they start to sell it for the private market.
Digital TV and HDD recorders will also grow a lot I think.
But if you want to make a real killer application/product, you should invent something that haven't already been mentioned, these things have already been developed and is starting to sell now.

Speaking of beer glasses, I saw someone made a beer glass that automatically warned the bartender via wireless connection when the glass was almost empty, so the bartender could bring the drinker a new beer before he ran out of beer.
That must be a killer product - or maybe someone just gets killed from drinking

this is funny... i am not sure where to begin...
the next killer app is the one that will keep you ALIVE! that's what i believe.
anyway, to get serious this is a list of killer apps in the brave new world. This is a random order.
1. 4G
2. fractal processing (fractals based on golden ratio patterns)
3. batteries based on hyrdogen / methane
4. superconductivity at room temperature (bad mother f)
5. time travels using slingshot singularities
6. teleportation 
7. quantum computing
8. brain process modeling and "real" AI (some advanced/future form of fuzzy)
9. security apps
10. human/humanoid distinction tests
11. humanoid/robotics engineering
12. handshake protocols for ET communication  .... and GB processing

interesting opinions. I will not argue over this fact that it is often difficult to predict the market. well the list of potential big hits which we don't have their technology yet is endless, but I assume that original poster was interested in foreseeable future.the technology of all big hits that I can imagine now were existed for a long time , but it came as a big hit because someone found a new application for that existed technology. we do not have the technology of some of the above suggestion or the technology is not sophisticated enough. I won't argue against economic potential of hydrogen fuel cell ? but is the technology ready for marketing (for example to see fuel cells in our mobile phones)? I don't think so. car manufacturing companies like BMW spend loads of money on this technology but it is unlikely that we see such technology widely available in near future.
on the other hand broad band internet is growing very fast and even many developing countries are expected to have the infrastructure in 5 years or so.
it is hard for me to think that this technology only be used to surf the net faster. many(not all) big hits of market have one thing in common they became a culture. they are not absolutely necessary for us, neither they essentially make life easier for us, but we buy them because they are part of our society culture.

Actually the Japanese companies NTT DoCoMo and Fujitsu Laboratories has just shown a 3G mobile phone charger powered from fuel cells, they will start selling a mobile phone charger with a more compact design in 2006, so there's not a long time to go. I 2007 we will se the first mobile phone with the fuel cells built in.
These fuel cells are not based on hydrogen but a 30% methanol concentration.
The fuel cell cotains 18 ml 30% methanol concentration .
Read the news here:

The other day I also saw a cylinder lawn mover prototype running on hydrogen fuel cells on the news; it was almost completely noiseless.
The lawn mover is devloped by Danish Technology Institute, together with the Danish lawn mover company AL-KO Ginge.
Watch a 2 minutes TV clip of the new lawn mover shown at a local Danish TV station 27/9-04. Remember to turn on the sound so you can hear how silent the lawn mover is.:
http://www.tv2regionerne.dk/Default.asp?r=7&Id=209501
AL-KO Ginge's web site: http://www.ginge.com/Hovedmenu/index.asp?s=en
Denmark's Technology Institue's news about the lawn mover: http://www.teknologisk.dk/14020
The developer from Denmark's Technology Institue said in the interview that the technology is still too expensive, so we we probably have to wait 1 - 3 years before we will see it in any real commercial products.
The future is near

I will bet on Fuel Cell. One of the application is to replace electricity generator, which is noisy and produces bad smell. In Asia, many hawkers use generator to power their stalls. The emission from the generator is not pleasant and it's noisy.
Another one is high power LED like LUXEON. One of the advantage of LUXEON is it can lit up immediately.

For PC, the future is definitly multi-processors low cost board and maybe CPU 
This is the cheapest way to multiply flops

Bio diesel or petrolium
Indian government is supporting the plantation of Jatropha trees.
Bio diesel is made from its seeds

Some people say Bio Diesal is successful already. But the manufacturing cost is still higher.

The petrolium stocks are going to last for a few decades and per barrel prices are already high.
Imagine when oil is no longer available from oil fields, and high tech "fuel Cells"
are only available in some developed countries, or are expensive then if you have half Acre (20000 sft) of Jatropha plantation you can manage your vehicles without depending on any body.
In Tamilnadu the government of India has started a small power generation scheme in some tribal villages which dont have access to electricity.
A few villages have been selected on a pilot basis to provide small electricity generators of around 10 KVA each which will be running on Jatropha Bio diesel. each household has to collect some Qty. of Jatropha seeds which are sent to a central place where the Bio diesel is extracted.
It is a kind of cooperative based power generation scheme at a very low cost
The total Cost estimate for a small village of 30 houses was around 1.5 to 2.5 Lac Indian rupees (3000 to 4000 us$.... The cost of a Nokia Vertu Signature phone).
In the third world there are still millions of people who dont have basic amenities like drinking water , Electricity, Health care etc...
The next killer application should be one which improves the quality of life of millions of people at an affordable and easily achievable price and technology.
