Go up one level in this thread


Everything on that list is doable. I figure within 3-4 years everything will be
possible with 1 exception; power consumption.

Take a look at modern PDA's versus computers from 5 or so hears ago. I remember
being excited about a P2 200mhz, now you can get a palm that's over 300mhz.
Color screen exists, the HD space I definately see as a possibility since there
are 5-10gig flash out now. Voice recognition exists, but it should get better.

I do look forward to such a device someday too :)
