Given that all the BlackBerry buzz I hear about from business-types revolves around instant email, I'm not sure how Treo can compete without an on-device provider-supported solution.
How much of a focal-point change can be realized, and how controllable is the shape of the lens?
Moving on past simple focal devices on binoculars and cameras, I can see this being used to make multipurpose devices --- assuming that the curvature can be adjusted with great enough detail.
Assuming a deformable enough lens, it could be possible (with a light-amplification method, as the aperture requirements vary greatly between these devices) to create a gadget that combined the functionality of a low-power microscope and monocular into one portable tube.
It has to be easier to alter the focal specifications of a liquid-based lens regardless --- autofocus could be taken to a completely different level with some work.

Filesystems don't kill people...people kill people.
Mod coward up!
While this is true (re: standards-based), keeping a cellular data connection open constantly appears to be...less than ideal.
GoodLink, otoh, looks much more interesting.
This was the answer I was looking for: thank you.

Admittedly I've yet to own one of these --- does push email exist on the Treo? That seems to be the only thing keeping BlackBerry afloat.
