Here are some of the concept designs for Gadgets of 2014
Wrist-top hub features:
flexible OLED screen
thumbprint scanner
camera lens
navigation and control buttons
microphone
Training assistant features:
Lens: A hi-res still and video camera also performs retina scans for security authentication.
Supplemental power: MEMS-kinetic cells integrated into the housing capture energy from body movement.
Smart screen: The edge-to-edge display with NXT clear-audio film functions as both loudspeaker and next-to-ear speaker. Users navigate with touch-sensitive surface and customizable buttons or via voice commands.
Accessories: Advanced Wi-Fi allows users to stream content to other devices such as armbands, earbuds, or large screens.
Life recorder features:
Piezoelectric screen: Pulling the touchscreen out halfway activates phone mode: A numeric keypad blisters up on the display. The screen can also be fully extended for watching movies.
Search interface: The SensEye’s filtering system looks for what, where, and when info.
Personal navigator
Multimedia handicam features:
OLED Display: Labels and icons shift according to mode, from filming to editing to videoconferencing.
Telephony: In telephone mode, the caller uses wireless earbuds (not shown), and a photo or videostream of the other party appears here.
Jog wheel shuttle: This controller detaches from the body, allowing it to be comfortably used.
Pull tab: The flexible screen serves as a camera viewfinder and display for text messages and video calls. The screen can also be pulled from the canister like a window shade for on-the-fly computing, emailing, Web browsing, and even video editing.
Security: Biometric-sensing film automatically recognizes the user, ensuring that no one else can use the device. This authentication can also alert the phone network to the user’s whereabouts.
Microphone: Software-controlled directional mike array can be used for targeted audio capture.
Lens: Rotating optics switch the lens focal length between normal, macro, fish-eye, and prismatic.
Upload Presets: Layout preference cards slip into Edit Decision List (EDL) expansion bays. These cards set image and text autoformatting preferences for Web uploading.
Sticky cam:
Sold in six-packs, these cheap wireless lenses can be stuck on any surface and feed video back to the CanCam. Each contains an integrated digital imager and optics, a printed antenna, and a zinc air battery – all mounted on a flexible bed with an adhesive backing.

the flexible OLED is the one I've been waiting for and I suspect from what I have read that we'll see that quite a bit sooner than 2014
