Portable wireless devices that double as voice-activated telephones have been on the horizon for years. They haven't materialized because key components have resisted miniaturization.

Finally, at a physics symposium over the weekend, Lucent Technologies' engineers claimed to have made breakthroughs in shrinking key parts of a wireless telephone that can be strapped to your wrist.

Lucent engineers displayed a tiny microphone on a silicon chip at a Bell Labs symposium in Murray Hill, New Jersey.

I understand Dick Tracy did the demo and that Chester Gould has filed a suit for royalties.
