You stated an argument that is a truism as if to make it relevant.

No I stated it because the poster seemed disconnected from reality; realistic constraints and current installed technology cannot simply be ignored, no matter how inspired a business plan.

Eventually, I will be able to from my handheld use the computing power of other handhelds and other computers. At that point, indeed the handheld becomes something of a dumb terminal that aggregates everyone else's computing power (particularly idle bandwith), whether in small or large computers, across as distibuted network.

I agree completely. You need to reread the original post I responded to - this is not at all what was being claimed by techreports.

BTW You're assuming that by accessing another device's resources that you're using a bluetooth or 802.11 connection. You're not suggesting that a 3g network will facilitate that connection, are you?

Given that you can get a palm or other handheld with as much power as the computer in 1993-94 (if not later) and given that the cost of linking those computers together is falling and falling, I think the threat is must closer than you apparently do.

Examine the sizes of the respective containers - do you believe Moore's law is in full effect for a phone-sized device? Nanotechnology holds promise but is some ways off.

Cheers. Rob
