Heaven forbid we read "hard copy"...but this is out of "Internet Telephony" page 10 July 1999: on the future of wireless
"Palm-based computers will eventually merge with cell phones, and IP will be the universal wireless networking standard. In addition to telephony, IP wireless devices will allow you to have access to e-mail, the Web, GPS, the latest stock market developments, a database of contacts, and myriad other features currently only available on our desktips. "
there is a CTI EXPO www.ctiexpo.com
There is a lot in the future that EDIG can benefit from beyond digital radio (as of 6/24 Lucent is staffing up for its new venture "digital radio" in New Jersey...see my earlier posts), the whole telephony thing (web access, talking, email, faxing, dictation including VTT and TTV and all the other PDA outgrowths...(Voice to Text, Text to Voice)....imagining a PDA that is is also a cellphone, web access, tv, bar code reader, digital music player, dictation taker/translator, foreign language translator,calculator, stock market, GPS mapping/directions, contact/address system, infra-red information exchanger...personal logger (exercise/calories), reminder and gift buyer, and ...hey...clock/alarm.
