If you thought narrowcasting and digital displays where the thing to focus on as a trendy marketeer, then think of this one.  Siemens has come up with a new type of electronically enhanced label which allows projecting video on the label itself.

Imagine going for eggs and actually seeing the chicken run around on the packaging.  Harry Potter ?  Long-term future ?  Not really, Siemens expects the product to be commercially available in 2007.
