Femtocell
A femtocell is one gadget that has not yet made it onto shop shelves - but if you believe the hype, these devices could end up being as ubiquitous as Christmas tinsel.
Femtocells are small mobile base stations that boost signal coverage indoors enabling better access to high bandwidth services such as streamed video. The gadget is also likely to enable location-based services tailored around your home - so you'll be able to know who has arrived home and when. So not a gift for privacy advocates then.
Shown on the left is the Oyster 3G femtocell, made by ip.access, which is currently being trialled by operators around the world.
