What will be the next public participation technology? Here's one possibilityâ€¦ wireless laptops with electronic ink capability (and built in hand generators to boot!). All packaged to cost less than today's keypad polling devices. Way cool!

Too bad they're not for sale, but I'm sure others will follow.
