I think one of the common mistakes makers make is to focus on their ideas rather than the problem they are trying to solve. If you've found a real problem, you can take different stabs at solving it. And as you do this, you learn more and more about the problem space and your solutions are more likely to succeed. The reverse doesn't really work. You can't start with a product, and then try to apply it to different problems until you find one that matches.
So I'd rephrase your question to "which problem should I solve?" – and to answer that I'd look at 1) how real is the problem (are people already spending money trying to solve it?), and 2) how passionate and knowledgable are you about this problem?
