I'd like some decent Augmented Reality apps/games, proper AR rather than the barcode based stuff. Something that could recognise an environment and overlay cool stuff. A decent camera, GPS, compass and good processing power are all required. Figure between G1 and iPhone 3 we might be getting there.

Check out some of the demos on the http://www.tinmith.net site, or http://wearables.unisa.edu.au/Projects/. I love the demo where a group of people draw on a virtual map and the person on campus sees the draw arrows to guide them.
