I work for a small software development company (5 people), so this might not be much use to me. But imagine how useful this would be in a company with a large network and plentiful employees....
No more 'phone bills for calling other parts of the company (providing they are on the same net). Sounds great, doesn't it?
The thing is, we don't know how these little toys are going to be sold. If it's a one-off, pay-and-it's-yours price then wa-hey! free phone calls to the pretty typist. But what if they charge for the _service_, too? It seems to be the In Thing (i-opener, anyone?) at the moment.

How about an entire PC made out of this rubbery stuff? Just imagine: the next time it crashes, you could wrestle to the floor and hold it in a triple-death-headcrush manouver until it promises not to do it again. And best of all,it wouldn't get damaged.

Ant, who should read articles in more depth. Or at all.
Am I the only one thinking that WotC would be saving a LOT of cash by getting a member of the public to design their new system for them for free?
I'm guessing that the prize will not be equal to a game designers salary.
