'Blind musician Stevie Wonder wants a car he can drive.  For now, he is 
lending his support to gadgets that let visually impaired people stay in 
tune with the digital era.  "Me, I'd like a car I can use to get 
around," Wonder said when asked what technology breakthrough was at the 
top of his wish list.  Appearing at the Consumer Electronics show in Las 
Vegas, Wonder said he was a fan of new Apple Nano iPods, which speak the 
names of titles in music libraries and feature a trademark control panel 
that is simple to navigate by touch.  The show has gadgetry ranging from 
new smartphones to envelope-sized computers.  Actor Tom Hanks helped 
pitch Sony's products, including a computer small enough to fit in a 
pocket and glasses with a video screen.  Flat-screen TVs can be embedded 
with "widget" software offering on-screen links to YouTube and MySpace. 
Motorola unveiled the first mobile phone made from recycled water 
bottles.'
