Has the notebook-to-handheld conversion begun? Boy, don't I wish!
Apparently some senior executives are starting to trade in their laptops for a desktop and a smart handheld device, a la Pocket PC. Since most senior execs don't do much except read e-mail and talk to each other, I guess that works for them. I'd be hard-pressed to show up at a client site and start coding on my phone. Talk about your reality check ("How big is that screen anyway, 300x400?")
However, if they give me VR goggles, light-based keyboards and VR gloves, I might think about it. At least with goggles you can get 1024x768...of course, they're a fortune, but hey, who's counting costs here? Seriously, though, the input and visual components are what need the most work.
I think technology will eventually get there. I remember when my dad bought his first PC, and it had less processing power and RAM than my phone now has. And that was only about 15 years ago.
