All those things you described are great, but...
It'll be years before the technology (and economics) gets us to the point where we can integrate that many devices into one "killer app". The hard drive tech is there, the processor tech is close, so is the screen tech.
The problem is that the space requirements and weight problems would make a device have to be twice if not 3 times as big as the ipod under the current state of computer technology...but wait for it my friend...its gonna be great!!!
=J
I saw one at Comdex, and it is one sweet little device. The screen is bright and clear, it doesnt weigh much and it's as fast as any handheld out there. Even the java runs fast on it =P
Only problem, I couldnt get much outta the people running the booth, they seemed pretty clueless...oh well.
Guess Ill hafta wait till they come out on the market *sigh*
Oh btw, the sliding keyboard mechanism on it is relatively well implemented, but it doesnt work well when its on the cradle (only a minor complaint) I do so want one of these things =J
Die bandwidth, DIE!
Seriously Joe, way to/. yourself =P. Now go out and get yourself some more bandwidth =D
Wolfenstein is such a cool game, I so want to play it...now all I have to do is get that Geforce 3 TI i've been pining for....*drool* (yeah for Christmas !)
Anyone know what the minimum system specs are for running a RTCW server? I got an Athlon 600 with nothing to do...sure would be nice to put it to "good use" =J

You can...speakerphone option lets you talk while you do just about anything you want on the palm (or hands free earphone works too)
I've used this feature a lot on my phone, and it works a lot better than the systems on most regualr cell phones.
So there you go =J (go buy one)
yeah dont we all love 3rd posts???? =P
