Also see the Salling Clicker. It can interact with (using AppleScript) virtually everything on your Mac with a Sony Ericsson phone, including the latest T610.
On top of that, I want PDA functions in a phone with bluetooth. That doesn't exist either.
There are the SONY Ericsson P800, and the Nokia 7650. They both run Symbian, have Bluetooth, and loads of PDA features. P800 also got handwriting (sort of) recognition.

According to the May issue of Scientific America, there could well be an infinite number of unreachable (by the limit of the speed of light) universes. Anything could, in theory, happen in this infinite ensemble and it has no reason why some giant icecream beings happen to rule the (their own) Universe.
Further to that, among those Universes, there shall exists beings that are capable to break the light speed limit or any known physical laws that prevent them from reaching other multiverse and conquere them in a day (earth day)!
So if there really exist an infinite number of Universes, we shall know by now. In reality, it doesn't seem so, and the paradox remains...
Now when someone says `black hole' they mean `the event horizon and everything inside it'.
The use of the word "Inside" is interesting. The event horizon is a physical boundary of the rests of this Universe and what was that formed the black hole. So, outside is just equally appropriate, and equally meaningless (semantically, no offense).
BTW, text books say the "everything" are only mass and angular momentum. But if this is true, as "all the information of the matter fall onto the black hole will be loss save the mass and angular momentum", then the history of the black hole shall went down the sink as well and the claims that stars formed black holes shall become automatically invalidated.
According to the press release from the Japan official site, the battery last 18 hours with Backlight turned off and a static screen.
Another interesting add-on is a Compact Flash XGA adaptor from I.O.Data for video output, now all we need is some nice games.
Oh, there is also the camera CE-AG06 (640x480 color)
Other interesting parameters:
w x d x h: 74mm x 138mm x 18mm (w/o LCD cover)
weight: 205g (w/o LCD cover)
display: 240x320 3.5" 64k color TFT (Front light) (i.e. you can read clearly under direct sun light)
No Bluetooth? Look up Bluetooth support from their developer site.
on iBooks and WLAN, no string attached, and the base station do ADSL to the ISP. Though sometimes apps do suddenly quit themselves, the iBooks were never rebooted (except during those upgrade moments).
The tech support issues with Windoze are too big a workload for me as a free consultant, Linux on the other hand is too user-unfriendly for a layman. I have tried to give them Gnome on Linux, but they did end up only able to use Netscape and not even a decent mail app with consistency UI is availbale, you could call them stupid but they are old! So Linux is out of the question.
Now they are happy to use the Macs and are able to use quite a few apps and even to produce their own travel documentaries on video (only that their iBooks can't burn DVDs:-(
We are all impressed on what the Macs are capable to bring to these old folks when they hardly known what a CPU is and can't make sense of the difference between a harddisk and their favorite Pink Floyd CD (because I have the CD saved to MP3 on their hd, and that confused them so much:-))
Not to mention I don't have to troubleshoot over the phone with a 90 years old fustrated woman.
Not that the Macs are perfect, there are still a lot of room to improve especially on speech recognition and user-friendliness, but current, if you need stability plus user-friendliness (perhaps also multilingual 'coz my dad and mom also use Chinese), Mac (OS X, NOT OS9! )is almost the only choice.
Many of you have wondered why Japan's geek products are so popular within their country. I will say most part of it is due to the user friendliness of the products and they all come with a good user
manuals
Like those indoor used cordless (aka wireless) phone here and here (all in Japanese, you will need the fish to translate for you), don't be scared away with the numbers of buttons on the key pad. Most of them have step-by-step voice and text prompts and the buttons you would mostly pressed following the prompt will either flash or show in a different color. Those buttons that are not related to this particular function will not lit and function at all.
There it becomes a simple task to follow these "instructions" to setup the phone, set the morning call time, use the telephone answering system, forward a voice mail to another phone number, etc.
One doesn't even have to look into to manual for these features but if you do want to, the manual is clear, precise, well organized, step by step with illustrations (especially on do and don't) and mostly, is fun to read and easy to follow.
And I have seen sentence like this on the mobile phone manual: Please consider not to use this mobile phone in restaurants because it could disturb other diners. Nice, isn't it?
Yes, it can play midi and has its own synth. However, the 7650 only has 24 chords, compared with those Japanese phones capable of 40 chords or 64 chords, it is still relatively primitive.
Even feature-wise and user-friendliness, the 7650 is still far behind those Japanese phones.
In Hong Kong, it is about US$320. http://www.orangehk.com/eng/eshop/prod_de sc.jsp?Pr odID=DP9N7650
I have a chance to play with it for a while, and this thing is cool albeit too bulky and heavy. However, I am amazed on the battery life of this phone, I could play around with the camera, talking on the phone, sending emails and MMS all day without seeing the battery indicator dropped one mark.
One thing I found interesting was when you have the Keypad slide down, set the phone to silent mode, then pretend you are talking on the phone; because of the camera's position, no one will be suspicious of you taking pictures of them!
This is actually cool (and somewhat worrisome). I did an experiment and found that one could managed to sneak into some perfect positions and took pictures of anyone without them knowing it. (And of course those are friends that won't mind me doing this experimentally and I did told them later about what I have done:-)
Elecom, a Japanese company specialized in making computer peripherials has released a 24 color optical mouse - 24 different light colors from the optical part.
http://www2.elecom.co.jp/products/M-GUWSRLFC.htm l
(Page in Japanese, you will need the fish to translate for you.)
The mouse is translucent and the color from the optical sensor LED is capable of varying in 24 different colors. It will cycle through all the colors when idle and you can select any one color out of those 24 when the mouse is in use (when it is moving, the color will stay).
I say it is kind of cool and I have just bought one for my Mac.
Oh, you should also see their indoor wireless phones from Sharp, Victor, Pioneer, SONY, Sanyo just name a few, they have features richer than your PBX + cell phones.
>> Why would time have a beginning OR ending? Just because human lives have them?
Could well be. Concious observation collapse the wave functions of the Universe into some eigenstates that would support a conscious observer so that it would observe and collapse the wave functions in order to support conscious...
So, we are here because we are here because we are here...
