Hardware wallets are the future.  I love my Trezor, but it's not perfect.

The perfect HW wallet to me, would be credit card sized, with an e-ink display, keypad, and RFID.

It would be powered by the RFID, and you can stick it to the back of your smartphone.  Whenever you stage a payment on your phone, you turn your phone around, and type in your pin. The card would then sign the transaction, and hand back control to the phone.

It would also work on shop terminals, so payment would be as easy as holding the card over the shops terminal, and keying in the pin (or or not, if the transaction value was small).

It would also be your key to online sites.  Put your phone/card onto a USB RFID reader plugged into your laptop/computer.
