Let us look at the transportation devices. They have evolved- cars have gone from standard transmission and carburettors to AT/PS/PB/ABS etc. They have also become important enclosures for listening to quality sound. The digital revolution will create individual appliances ranging from the calculator, organizes, palm top, hand held, laptop, desk top, etc. But unlike transport devices which evolved, the Digital appliances will undergo metamorphosis- telephones to serves as pagers and vice versa,receive - e-mail initially in verbal form and soon in voice form. Similarly, the TV and PC's metamorphosis has already begun as they assimilate each others functionality. My conclusion: the personal communication device ( whether it is called the PC or not) which "sits" at home or on a desk top will be around for a long time and is not about to die soon. It will be transformed to do what other appliances do now : become a multi-functional telephone, fax, copy, scan, print, monitor, control, schedule, audio, video device. Did I leave something out?

Mark: Thanks for starting this thread. I just took the liberty of posting a link to it on the Qualcomm thread, since several of the posters there follow the nexus of handheld phones and the internet - with Qualcomm's CDMA technology specifically in mind. And some of the Q folks are technologically pretty savy - unfortunately I am not one of them though. Wish you well. Here to learn. BTW have been very curious re Symbian and the possible use of British technology combined with Java for wireless internet access. Are there some links on that general broad subject which might be useful learning tools? A start anyway? Chaz
