    They may not have name or other personal information but they can store person's face, clothes, accessories and people they hang out with (faces again).

As much as I would like all these technologies to come into play, I do see things may go on a slippery slope if this data is shared with parties who have persons image and identity information.

    Just as Wozniak commented:

    Interviewer: What's your favorite phone?
