Aromasoft MultiPalm

"Aromasoft tells us that with the Multipalm comes with a handset. Judging from a picture, the handset appears to be slightly thicker and longer than a dry-erase marker. It incorporates a numeric key pad and can be used as a stylus. Bluetooth technology will enable users to put the Multipalm in their briefcases and keep the handset in a more convenient location, like a pocket."

I read a humorous piece by a Sun Microsystems' inventor (I think he created something called "JAVA") relating to multifunction PDA's. He said that it would be great if you could incorporate all the CDMA functionality into the sole and heel of your shoe and then power it by walking. This way all of the energy from the radiofrequencies won't give you a brain tumor and you don't need any batteries for the device. The PDA function would be linked wirelessly to your shoe and you end up carrying one less items. It is an interesting concept.

IMHO, somehow the handset functions and the PDA functions will either have to become more miniaturized or totally separated. It will be interesting to see how things play out.
