Have a gander at XHTML modularization (behind which MathML was a big driver). No more need to wait for specs to settle down for everything, just what you need.
That's not what he was saying. The phone connects to the internet through GPRS or UMTS. The PDA connects to the phone through Bluetooth. Then the PDA is the input/output device and the phone is the network access device.
Hmmm. I don't think HTTP is as much of a bear as it seems. And you certainly don't have to build a DOM tree to parse XML. SAX can do, or you can roll your own that just looks for what you want and ignores the rest.
And anywho, it always fastest to just code everything up in assembly. You just have to decide where you draw the line between ease of implementation and speed of execution. I don't mind drawing it above and XML parser and HTTP client server.
gotta say, it sounds promising...

IMHO, SOAP is preferable to CORBA (or RMI) and from what I've heard about it UPnP seems a little preferable to JINI. Maybe some engineers are changing MS from within...
AFAIK, Moore's Law just refers to the number of circuits on a chip--not the clock speed. And the circuits on these chips don't seem to be too terribly small.
Bluetooth (aka 802.15) makes it necessary to define the "PAN," or Personal Area Network. (No, I don't think that's just marketing hype.) It basically means considering all the cords coming out of your computer as a small network. So now all the local devices--phone (cell or home), computer, PDA, webpad, external drives, printer, scanner, FUFME--all know about each other and can all do what each does best without any of the others having to duplicate that functionality.
When they need a larger connection--computer in the next room, printer down the hall, baby monitor--you move up to a LAN. The LAN can be wireless using 802.11.
When the LAN needs a wider connection--email, web, games, new pr0n scripts for the FUFME--you move out a WAN which is usually the Internet at large. The WAN could be wireless through fixed wireless (RF), satellite, optics, etc.
CDMA was actually invented by Qualcomm. It is used in the US by Sprint PCS (among others). GSM actually uses TDMA as it's air interface, but has different protocols than the other (I forget the standards number) type of TDMA used in the US by AT&T Wireless (among others).

And that wireless earpiece towards the end looks like the Bluetooth headset that Ericsson already has out.
