"  Microsoft Photosynth | Free  This remarkable software, which can be downloaded for free, analyzes dozens (or hundreds) of photos taken of a location or subject--the Eiffel Tower, say, or a room in a museum. It looks for overlapping points in the images, then arranges the snapshots into a browsable 3D model. The result is a fresh way to organize and share photography--opening up new possibilities for a 180-year-old art form.  Next Breakthrough Product &amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt; Spore  Spore | $49  Few video games have built up as much anticipatory buzz as Spore, and it&amp;#039;s not just the game&amp;#039;s pedigree (it was designed by Will Wright, the mastermind behind SimCity and The Sims) or its grand scope (players guide the evolution of a universe). It&amp;#039;s the technology. Spore doesn&amp;#039;t rely on stock characters stored in a library of animations. Instead, the software uses sophisticated logic to allow players&amp;#039; creations to interact spontaneously. Next Breakthrough Product &amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt; Amazon Kindle  Amazon Kindle | $359  Like previous e-book readers, the Amazon Kindle relies on an easy-to-read E Ink display that needs no backlight and draws power only when loading a new page. (It can handle thousands of pages between charges.) The Kindle&amp;#039;s key innovation--the one that blazes the way for digital paper products--is its inclusion of a high-speed EVDO antenna and a deal with Sprint that allow users to download books quickly, from nearly anywhere. Next Breakthrough Product &amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt; Livescribe Pulse Smartpen  Livescribe Pulse Smartpen | $149  Smart pens, which digitize handwriting for later manipulation on a PC, have been more like novelties than productivity tools. Not this one. The Livescribe Pulse smart pen uses an integrated microphone and a revolutionary method to record and retrieve audio. The user taps his or her handwritten notes to get the pen to play the appropriate audio. Next Breakthrough Product &amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt; Craftsman Nextec Multi-Saw  Craftsman Nextec Multi-Saw | $150  A new breed of saw doesn&amp;#039;t come along very often. The Craftsman Nextec Multi-Saw qualifies--it&amp;#039;s a 12-volt hybrid of a jigsaw and reciprocating saw that hits a new level of versatility. The tool is small enough to get into tight spots, powers through tough jobs and can operate at up to 2000 strokes per minute. $150 (in a kit with a drill, two batteries, a charger, two blades, a drill bit and a work light). Next Breakthrough Product &amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt; Potenco PCG1 Power Generator  Potenco PCG1 Power Generator | $99  (Illustration by Dogo) The Potenco PCG1 pull-cord generator creates electricity for portable gadgets with far greater efficiency than hand-cranked devices. The PCG1 is the geek-chic version of a generator for the developing world. It weighs 14 ounces, has both an internal NiMh battery and a mini-USB output jack and can convert 2 minutes of effort into 40 minutes of cellphone talk time. Next Breakthrough Product &amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt; Nissan Around View Monitor  Nissan Around View Monitor | from $1950  Nissan&amp;#039;s advance in automotive safety is a parking system that allows a driver to see 360 degrees around the car. Other parking systems show only what&amp;#039;s behind. Using ultra-wide-angle cameras positioned at the front, rear and sides of the vehicle, Nissan&amp;#039;s version synthesizes images into a bird&amp;#039;s-eye view on the navigation screen. It&amp;#039;s optional on new Infiniti models, such as the EX35 and the FX35/FX50. Included in packages from $1950. Next Breakthrough Product &amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt; M-Spector Digital Inspection Camera  M-Spector Digital Inspection Camera | $259  Drywall often undergoes its own form of exploratory surgery, as DIYers cut surfaces open just to diagnose a disease. This tool provides an alternative. The LED-lit lens--which is fixed on a 3-ft., flexible cable--beams behind-the-wall imagery to a 2.4-in. LCD. It helps users find leaks, trace wiring and more. Next Breakthrough Product &amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt; Intel Atom Processor Intel Atom Processor  In addition to being a marvel of miniaturization (47 million transistors on a single 26 x 26 mm chip), the Atom processor is brilliantly efficient, with a power specification ranging from below 1 watt to 2.5 watts. Chips such as the Atom, made possible by a new Intel manufacturing process, can bring computer-level power to highly portable devices--further blurring the distinction between cellphones and computers. Next Breakthrough Product &amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt; Caroma Profile Smart Dual Flush Toilet  Caroma Profile Smart Dual Flush Toilet | $409  Inventive, conservation-minded DIY plumbers have rigged gray-water systems to their toilets for years, reusing water from the sink for flushing. Caroma&amp;#039;s Profile Smart designs the concept right into the fixture, by providing a sink and faucet atop the water-storage tank.
