Nappies (diapers) for babies that have a little pocket with a couple of wipes in it. Basically I want to be able to stuff a couple of nappies in by jacket pocket or bag and then when the baby needs changing I've got a fresh nappy and a couple of wipes.

Amazon already does this. Actually, I think it's required to list an item on Amazon.
You need the ISBN, but it's not as simple as scan it and you're done. Delicious Library might do what you want?
I have a hand scanner for barcodes that works fine with Amazon.com. It looks like a keyboard to my PC and so when I scan a barcode it simply 'types' the ISBN into the appropriate box on Amazon.

#93A 1-on-1 clone of GMail, but installable on any webserver. I love the GMail interface but I hate to have my mail on their servers for obvious reasons. Same goes for Reader, Calendar and Docs.
Ever tried Zimbra?

#94For toll roads, some sort of in car item that will receive a short audio ad and play it. Thus using the ad money to pay my toll. I realize there are several issues immediately off the top of it, but it could be a viable alternative to having to pay tolls.

I think currency.com is already taken.
Relevant point, but money was created to abstract before we had general-purpose abstracting machines like computers with their associated tools. If it wouldn't get you in trouble with the IRS (big "if"), I think it'd be fascinating to see the new tool applied to the old problem. It might create an entirely new kind of market.

That is an interesting idea, however certain tolls (e.g. london city) have not the goal to earn money, but to keep people away. playing ads won't keep them away.

#99So, many cities have bus systems and those bus systems now-a-days are usually GPS equipped for several reasons (notably that a central office can monitor the system and that the busses can announce ADA-compliant stop messages based on location without the driver being involved).
I'd love to have something on my phone that would tell me where the next bus was on a cool Google Map (or other) and an estimated time to arrival (which could be calculated by Google Maps). Of course, you'd have to get your transit authority to give you access to their GPS results.
But this would probably be one of the most helpful things a transit authority could do. The problem most people have with public transit is that it can be inconvenient, but often it is convenient if you have better/more complete knowledge of it. For example, when I get up in the morning, I have no idea whether a bus went by a minute ago and it'll be another 20+ minutes waiting or whether a bus is 2 minutes away.
This could also help trip planning. Often in a mass transit system, there are multiple routes to get anywhere. The trip planners we have today are primitive in that they often don't take current information into account (such as speed at various times of day, location of the next bus/trolly/subway train in proximity, etc.). Using GPS information would greatly change that.
