Add eye tracking in the hardware and build the right software to make it useful. Done right, this could be the next UI revolution beyond touch. Some possible scenarios: - pay per actual view advertising - automatically scroll as I start to read the bottom of the visible region - automatically enlarge parts of view (e.g. who I am focused on in a 3 way video chat) - rapidly increase cycle of usability improvements in UI through better eye tracking instrumentation

The trick is having someone like Apple figure out what works well and build the right platform. Too much of things like auto-scrolling, auto-clicking is probably the wrong direction, so the key is having high judgement in the platform.
