    I'm definitely going to have "waterproof" as a must have specification for my next electronic device after witnessing that awesome nano-coating in action. The other thing I liked was Gorilla Glass 2.

    If a phone comes out with waterproof coating and Gorilla Glass 2 around May 2012 I will most likely purchase it. I am looking forward to mobile tech being released this year, it may be good enough for me to finally get a smart phone.

    I rather like the look of the dual CPU X79 boards (and the XFX's ability to insert an insane 96GB ) though I shudder at the thought of the cost of these monster boards (though as a 3D artist and heavy Photoshop user memory and CPU grunt is something you just can't get enough of).

    3d printer is about it TBH, pretty much everything else has been mediocre rehashes of older stuff.

    The folding throughput, and ability to build your own OVERCLOCKABLE server really whets my whiskers.

    The Trinity demo. I found that both my techy and non-techy friends thought the demo was pretty cool.

    I have a waterproof phone which uses first generation Gorilla Glass,ie, the Motorola Defy(Orange now sell them for around £100 on PAYG reduced from £200). It has a 800MHZ OMAP3 CPU and an SGX530 GPU and 512MB of RAM. It also has an 854X480 IPS screen which means it has a higher resolution screen than any other phone under £200.

    trinity - i do want an ultrabook with a decent GPU and compute ability.

    powerVR rogue - the combination of an OpenGL ES 3.0 GPU and multi-core ARM A15 CPU will make for an interesting mobile device in 2013.

    Want to see a review of new Zotac AD04 but it looks very promising as the perfect HTPC for me.

    Waterproofing my mobile phone!!

    Folding? Really? I can't believe someone would spend over 1k of any currency to fold extraterrestrial lookout data. It's just not productive and not even "Green". Shame on you!
