Default what features are in the next generation of flight computers

I've been daydreaming about flight computers...

Not the ones we have now, but the next generation... I haven't seen any
significant step changes in the functions the current generation
provide...

So I started day dreaming... and I came up with a wish-list, (now some of
these are obviously possible and others are definitely dream-time
illusions)

- colour displays (properly daylight readable)
- FLARM(or ADS-B or whatever) functionality
- Lite-Transponders
- live bidirectional position datalinks for competitions or team flying
- some form of remote sensing for likely lift areas (infrared, radar)
- Full digital panel (vario, alt, asi, horizon)
- really detailed maps (even 3d maps, like google earth ?)
- anti-gravity... erm... running out of ideas :-)

What else would/could you add to the list... and have you an idea of how
to implement it...

Peter
