Bill Joy of Sun Microsystems speaks out on PDA's This is the article I was referring to... redherring.com Q: "You seem to have a personal fascination with handheld devices. How do you envision using them in the future?" A: It would be nice to have a piece of electronic paper so I could read the newspaper. Maybe it would be one that would fold and unfold like a trifold. I have a trifold wallet. Maybe I could have a trifold piece of paper that I could stick in my pocket, unfold, and lay flat to be a newspaper. That doesn't seem impossible. It wouldn't be a computer; it would just be a display, and probably wouldn't take that much power at all, so batteries would last a long time. What you really want to do is break up the phone into basically the radio and put it into your shoes to get the electromagnetic radiation as far from your head as possible. And maybe put something in your shoes so that when you walk the pressure will generate electricity and recharge your battery. I don't know, I'm not that kind of engineer. You could even have microphones built into your clothing that you could talk into and have perfect voice pickup. That will all happen in the next ten years. Moore's Law has driven the performance of the chip so that all of these crazy things will get tried. Ausdauer
