Damn straight. Phone and PDA will merge. Bluetooth detachable headset with touch-screen, full colour, skinnable LCD display. Now, if someone can work out how to merge that with a barcode scanner, retina scanner and credit card, I'd have one secure paying and communications device instead of phone+PDA+wallet.
Oh yeh. And make it a thin client too, so when I lose it all my data's on the network and I don't lose that too.
Now, that's a killer device. tfb beat me by a year with the LCD bit :) but I reckon with those bells and whistles, it'd sell like hot-cakes.
Well I'd buy one.
As for WAP - that was always meant to be interim. Companies invested so much in hyping the 3G potential, they had to get something out to a crazed public. Yet another case of giving the marketeers way too much credence.
Come on. I want this stuff now. Something the size of an 8210 or smaller please. Oh and if it can use SyncML over IR or a decent industry-standard cable connection, that would be great.
