Biometrics works well with voice.

So, when your CDMA-enabled PDA/laptop has basic voice recognition (as some handsets do already) you will command it to open, and it will recognize the distinctive patterns of your voice only.

My next comment is that if IJ's laptop had Snap-Trak inside, we'd know where the hell it was!

A final thought, completely off the wall and off the laptop track has to do with use of touch-screen displays for handsets. Wondering why the entire key area couldn't be replaced by a variable touch screen display, that would show the keys when in voice mode, but display say, an entire web page or email screen when in data mode.

Maurice, has this feature been already incorporated into IT?
