Now we have hardware wallets(Ledger, Trezor, Jade, etc) and bitcoin nodes(Start9, Umbrel, etc). Maybe we can run lightning node on phones one day. Are there any other interesting hardware devices out there nowadays? And what kind of new hardware devices will emerge for bitcoin or lightning in the next five years?

The Bitcoin Ecosystem Map is so good. Blixt and Zeus are light end wallets. I mean we can have a bitcoin full node & lightning wallet on a phone. Need a phone with 2T storage maybe.

A non custodial wallet with full bitcoin node(699GB now) on a phone.

it would be cool to see a hardware wallet built directly into an android phone.

We don't know what we don't know yet. I'm excited about the future.

Start9 are making an internet router.
I'd like to see more home mining and meshnet devices.

Open hardware like RISC-V, that can be used for phones with real linux like mobian, not AOSP. Then for nodes with sbc with risc-v like with something like this: https://pine64.org/documentation/STAR64/ On the hardware wallet side, I don't know what can be created using risc-v, but just a matter of time until we find out.
