Apple’s appeal might be such that people will sleep rough just to be first in line for a new smartphone, but when our Most Wanted award winner finally arrives, we imagine pavements worldwide will become veritable camps of gadget geeks. Google’s personal head-up display will turn you into an off-duty Robocop, with a tiny screen capable of displaying GPS directions, live updates for public transport and local business info. A camera will even allow you to stream your POV via a Google+ Hangout. The bad news? This bona fide piece of the future is unlikely to be available until at least 2014. But the queue starts here – better get in line now.
