Apple Magic Trackpad
http://www.apple.com/magictrackpad/ http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/27/apple-magic-trackpad-first-hands-on/ Looks interesting. Not something I'd want, but still interesting. I'm curious if Apple is going anywhere with this. They're not the kind of company that introduces products without some kind of plan for them.

Google App Inventor for Android
http://appinventor.googlelabs.com/ I'm not sure exactly when Google announced this, but it's very interesting. Basically, it's an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that allows you to build apps for the Android platform with very little programming knowledge. Google App Inventor for Android is currently in BETA, and, based on the signup page to get access to it, it appears that it is primarily aimed for the education market.
