Paul, Nanotechnology is a lot of hype. The only commercial products are currently semiconductor related and some analytical equipment that can measure or manipulate on the near atomic level. Other than that, I am not aware of any real products or product road maps that have a consumer application. Right now it's all in backwater labs and acedemia settings in universities. That is not to say that someone won't develop something useful as a product, but that could be many years away. My guess is that the most significant likely application would be in the medical field, probably something like synthetic organs to assist or replace failed organs in patients, like liver or kidneys. If you really want to invest for the future, set your sights on the medical equipment/supply manufacturers, the US and European populations are aging and will need advanced diagnostics as the demographics of an aging population increases.
