Wired News Looks At Devices They Want For The Future, Including The iPhone

O ne of the few requirements of being a Mac owner is that you must, at some point in your Mac owning career, dream up some device youid like to see Apple release. Itis expected of you; if you own a Mac you have to have a dream device knocking around somewhere in your cranium, and you have to tell others about it.

And everything can be done via voice recognition or touchscreen. Talk about the right call.
