New function for Anita™ - Glucometer [glucose measuring] and bar code functions to be added < According to Jacobs, Qualcomm is currently working on two new examples of feature integration--a glucose-reading "glucometer phone" for diabetics and phones that can scan bar codes for commercial purposes.> siliconinvestor.com
Here is a previous post on the rest of the stuff to go in the 2010 version of Anita™.

<What more do you want?>
A QCOM currency [the Q with 100q to the Q] using the company's value or maybe a mix of 300 top companies' share prices as the value backing the currency, which would be purely a cyberspace currency, stored on multiple servers around the world, allocated to individuals or companies or other legal entities.
People could make transactions from anywhere to anywhere on their cyberphones.
It's about time there was some serious competition for state-backed fiat currencies with nothing backing them but the hope that electorates won't put their hand in the till to an excessive extent and that politicians won't destroy them with their self-interested greed.
Also, I want a new Globalstar constellation and subscriber devices based on the latest and greatest CDMA technology.
I want a full-fledged Anita™ cyberphone with all the functionality I've been waiting for for years. Message 19292339

Unlike at home, where multifunctional devices aren't popular because there is lots of room to store multiple devices and where obsolescence and failure of one component in a multifunctional device means the rest would be finished too, people on the hoof only want to carry a single device.
A combined stereo, video player, DVD, computer, phone and television would result in a costly failure if one component went on the blink or a new function was wanted, rendering the rest useless. Also, several people at home can use separate devices simultaneously whereas on the hoof, devices are for the use of a single person.
On the hoof, a single methanol powered fuel cell could provide the energy for all functions. A single screen or Microvision device could provide visual input - people can only look at one thing at a time. A single ASIC can provide functionality for lots of features. A single plastic case can hold the whole lot together. When all in one, various functions can talk to each other in the same device more easily than having to send Bluetooth or other signals from device to device. Costs are lower in a single device.
An Anita™ device could provide:
Voice communications
Cyberspace connection
Camera functions [still and moving]
Position location - gpsOne
Multimode air interface: 3GSM, WiFi, 1xEV-DO, GSM, 1xRTT, OFDM, Pulsed monocycle, laser, Globalstar
Multiband air interface: 450MHz to 3GHz
Laser pointer and perhaps data function
Radio receiver
Clock
Alarm
Stopwatch
Calculator and computing
Flashlight
Small flame [cigarette lighter]
Radiation detector [as in above link]
Music player [downloader] with Bluetooth link to EarCell™ or cochlear implant.
Fingerprint ID, Iris ID, voice ID, all linked to multipler ID servers around the world.
Mirror, or high resolution camera with an image on the screen, with zoom feature for eyebrow plucking and zit inspection. This would be a magnifying glass or microscope function for inspection of bacteria or other tiny stuff.
Mirror, for reflecting light.
With ethanol instead of methanol fuel cell, the cyberphone could be used for wound cleaning, spectacle cleaning, hip flask and other chemistry functions. The ethanol could slosh around the inside of the device acting as a coolant by convection and evaporation to distribute heat from the ASIC. The water output could be evaporated for extra cooling.
Thermometer
Voltmeter
Pocket knife
Keyless door opener
Remote control function [garage door, tv, car doors]
Vegemite dispenser
Automatic, continuous, data back up to multiple servers around the world. Lose the phone and a new one is right back in business = an instant clone.
That'll do for now. I don't want much. Any suggestions for added functionality appreciated.>
We're making good progress.
Also, the Anita™ will enable the U currency [nee Q - I think U is a better name and stands for Utopia, which is also an excellent lifestyle cafe in Ohakune], which will be a democratically determined cybercurrency owned by the people who are holding the currency at any time, which will be recorded in multiple servers all over the world.
There'll be no more need for geopolitical currencies owned by people like the Federal Reserve, who enjoy profits of control at the expense of the currency holders and which are at constant risk of political upheaval or economic MADness in electorate controlling the terrestrial currencies. Cyberspacoids will cut loose from the Aztecs of the world, who enjoy ritual sacrifice and are still hoping for the return of the gold standard.
U1 = The price of one hour of the mean cyberspacoid's time. Cyberspacoids would enter their current charge out rate and that value would define the currency. To maintain stability of the currency, the software would increase or reduce the number of U held by each person so that one U always is exactly one hour of the mean U holder.
Okay, I admit the algorithm needs a bit of work, but that's the general idea. Maybe some bright spark at QUALCOMM could come up with a way to do it. A kind of Google popularity algorithm of the currency world.
