Rootable Android (or Linux) based "mp3 player". Basically an iPod touch. No cell radio.

I don't know if it's possible but it feels like a cheap box for (sata) hard drives would be super useful for people having a bunch of old drives. The only ones I can find are top of the line expensive NAS or DAS stuff for say 2 to 4 large drives, not my 7 drives from 500GB to 2TB...

I use a 5€ sata-usb connector but it's not very practical, a usb hub + 7 of these connectors would cost like 40€ ... Not reliable or anything but it would just need a box!

How low-tech is still tech?

I want a device that can be armed and if moved without being disarmed (optional passcode) will set off an alarm.

This is both for my laptop when working in public spaces and for my cooler/food bag when camping.

A small android smartphone with good software support

Folding screen eReader....it would be extremely niche, but I want it

Recently heard about RePebble, so my complaining about smart watches may have to end

I need an ecmascript library that demuxes mpeg when fed individual frames. Every lib just wants to take in a whole file or URL to a stream. I need to filter the websocket sending the data so I need to feed individual frames to the lib. I'm only finding commonjs libs that do this

An app like Shazam but that shows me : this is the song you played and these are the songs it reminds you of because the melody is from here and the vocals melody is from here etc. I am mad that every other song reminds me of another but I cannot check which one it is.

A laptop with trackpad buttons

Lenovo is the only one I can find, and they're above the pad for the nub

Reliable software. It's a thing of the past.

An drone that act as an ambrella

This one I just found last week. I’ve been trying to get my tv on my vpn without having to flash my router with openwrt. It’s a samsung running tizen so not customizable unlike an android tv. I discovered the GL.Inet Mango and Shadow mini routers that come with openwrt pre-installed. Now I have my tv and older devices that don’t support my vpn client connected to it. I can also take it along with me when traveling to use when on hotel or public wifi.

A SEGA Dreamcast

A physical slide out keyboard case for iPhone.

• Phone with dual sim card slots and a sdcard, plus pop-out camera (my present phone has all of that except the second simcard, and I refuse to replace this phone!) ** Charging port on top ** Slightly thicker to fit a larger battery - and possibly slightly better optics for the main camera.

• Computer mouse about 15% larger than the "large" mouses they presently sell.

• Detachable 10-key that's mirrored for easy left hand use.

• In general, small electronic devices should have more than one button for interaction. It's easier to remember 3 different buttons than 3 different Morse codes to achieve the three different functions.
