They are working on miniature projectors for iOS devices (all the patent examples seem to be of iPad-like devices functioning as projectors). They've taken out numerous multi-touch-solar-panel patents, so the iPad/iPhone/future iOS devices will eventually be able to charge themselves. They've taken out further numerous patents on near-field-communication, so you'll be able to check-in at an airport with your phone, it'll activate itself when you arrive at your destination, you'll be able to call in a cab, and check-in with the phone at your hotel's reception. They also have taken out patents for iGoggles, a kind of glasses setup, and.. well, it just goes on and on.
