1. The Folding Memory Card – from SanDisk – fold it, it fits into the USB port – look Ma, no cables!

3. The Front-Side TV Connector – a tunnel to snake the cable to the front, a light to see what your doing and a door to hide it all when your done – thank you HP

8. The Modular DVD Screen – hang it from driver seat, car-ceiling mount, under the kitchen cabinet, wherever… from Audiovox


9. The Family-Portrait Burst Mode – from Casio – 3 pics a fraction of sec apart, has to be a picture there with everyone’s eye open


10. The Hybrid High-Definition Tape – JVC and Sony get accolades for keeping high-def on the $4 drug store video tape, instead of some new proprietary format, thank you, thank you, thank you
