OK, let's see... Dick Tracy needs these things for his mobile surfing: 1) a decent viewing device (KOPN and others have this covered?) 2) bandwidth - on the way, and it might not even give us brain (or gonad) cancer according to the latest I've seen. 3) an input device. This seems to be the biggest unknown at the moment. Voice recognition? Maybe, but if we are relying on the Japanese to include this technology there's this from voop's post #1436: Others have speculated that social conventions there [Japan] frown more heavily on talking on the phone in public places such as buses or restaurants, driving people to use the silent Net connection more easily. There's this: spectrum.ieee.org handykey.com but it looks too complicated for me. Any other suggestions? JF

Calc, ricochet's technology is pretty cool, almost as cool as their ads on T.V. You are correct that this should be considered high-bandwidth wireless service, but what I meant by my comment was 3G service from the usual suspects in the wireless voice arena. This would bring high speed data to the masses and create demand for millions of CyberDisplays.
