my answer is clear Apple's recent announcement of iTV. given their track record in usability, ease of use, plug-n-play. they will rock with iTV. can't wait to get it.
My son just dropped it on the floor, I really liked it, it's a great buy. small enough to go into your pocket, great pictures.
Now I have to look for a new one. am considering to re-purchase the same one or same model with better resolution like 5Mega Pixel
Canon PowerShot S410 / 4.0 Megapixel / 3x Optical Zoom / 3.6x Digital Zoom / Digital Camera
Siemens has develope d a flexible color display screen that can be printed on something as thin as paper, cardboard, foil, or even plastic. It's also affordable enough - about $52 for 3.2 feet - to be included in everything from books and magazines to tickets and instructions on packaging labels.
Cool

well about Ojo - Ojo is the a personal video phone, it has a 14" screen and can plug into a phone line, a modem or to a computer.
has a portable handset and a speaker phone. keep your privecy by shutting off the camera.

Ogo - on the go IM e-mail and SMS - a RIM competitor
A clamshell-style mobile communicator with a mini keyboard. The ogo is great for instant messaging (AIM, MSN, and Yahoo come pre-installed), SMS text messaging, and email. As a matter of fact, it only does this.
Simpe, small, cool.

Yet another great product from Steve Jobs labs.
Cool, light, sexy and simple to use.

waiting for the first geek to tweak it to do so.
