What I want Apple to make…

There’s rumour of a new type of device coming from Apple in the not too distant future.

What I want them to make is a wall-mountable flat 20" or so multi-touch "dumb terminal". You’d be able to hang this thing on your wall without seeming like a total nerd, and be able to display your iCal calendar (in nicer form, like a paper wall calendar), flick through your iPhoto photos, choose music to play etc.

A "Media terminal" perhaps. There’s such a gap in the market for this kind of thing. Ideally you want one of those fancy displays that takes no power when the display is not changing (and doesn’t suffer screen-burn) so that you can literally leave a photo up there all the time, preferably without backlight. Touch it and the backlight kicks in and a simple menu appears.
