Apparnetly Steve Jobs dropped by an Apple store, filled with hundreds of Apple fanboys getting their iPads. I wonder how many of them put down their iPad and pulled out their iPhones to snap a picture of this exciting event!
Without some business savvy, you might want to team up with a business person at this point. As crappy as it probably sounds to have someone who's spent four (BA), maybe six (MBA) years getting some degree at a school suddenly try to take a good fraction of what could potentially be your profits, teaming up with a good businessperson might offer you the best chance of actually getting somewhere with this.
For example, one avenue you could explore is possibly leasing this as a stand-alone technology to various organizations (depending on its level of development, as well as with a lot of restrictions on its usage), to receive funding for you to develop it further on your own (hence the restrictions on the lease). Another possibility is to start going for angel investors.
One thing is that it sounds like your idea is "really revolutionary", yet at the same time you really want to go at it alone. Some big ideas just can't take off without a lot of funds (venture capital), and a lot of support (the management team VC's will most likely put into place). All of these avenues and ideas, a competent MBA in Entrepreneurship should be able to help you sort through (just don't get an accountant or finance guy, lol).

Anyone remember that trigger built into windows 98 that showed a message informing you your computer was being commandeered for the government?
China is obviously in the dark ages, using additional software for potential commandeering when we just have it built into ours!
