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.

Remote control function [garage door, tv, car doors]
Diabetes test
Bar code scanner
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.

All iPod is doing is proving the market. Now, Samsung, Nokia and co are going flat out to incorporate iPod features in cyberphones.

Nobody will need their iPod. They will just need their CDMA cyberphone. It's inevitable.

Verizon and Sprint say no to the iTunes phone

As inconceivable as it must be for some people to imagine anyone saying no to Stevie J., BusinessWeek is reporting that both Sprint and Verizon Wireless have already said no to Motorola’s iTunes phone. Rumors about tension between the carriers and Motorola and Apple have been running rampant ever since Moto scrapped the handset’s unveiling last month, and it looks like the carriers, which are introducing their own wireless music download services later this year (BusinessWeek reports that Cingular, Verizon, and Sprint all have them in the works), are playing hardball now. They don’t see any reason to cut Apple in on their relationship with their subscribers, and they definitely see no reason to subsidize a handset that encourages people to transfer music over from their PCs rather than buying it over-the-air (giving their subscribers what they really want is always a secondary concern).

Its display screen can be rotated in all manner of ways, with multimedia control buttons positioned underneath the external LCD. It’s got a 2 megapixel camera, TransFlash expandable storage, and supports Bluetooth and USB. It also seems to support thumb prints quite swimmingly. Click on for some more pr0n
