There's plenty of people who want to build that thing, and most of us have a good idea how it probably should be, at least at first. The problem isn't building it, it's funding it without selling out the user.
If you have to make a grand reveal to the world and change all of it a la Steve Jobs with a single product, you're dead in the water. But we have the Internet and crowd funding and open source these days. Which part of the thing are you most interested in building? Go build that on top of whatever's closest, open source it (yes, even hardware), and iterate from there. It's a failure of the imagination (or perhaps the wisdom of age, or the lack of the foolishness of youth) if you're blocked by the fear of selling out the user.
