Unwired View / Replace the PC with your cellphone and Sony Ericsson Multimedia Cradle

I’ve said, for several years now, that the cellphone will eventually develop into the center of our digital life.  Once processors develop into tiny powerhouses, drives go flash based with 100 gigs or so (enough for video editing and metaverse development, something which will remain very difficulty from servers for some time to come) and wireless peripheral connectivity (bluetooth, wireless usb) develops, there will be little reason for big boxes except for servers.

Just plug your phone into a location which offers a monitor, keyboard and a few other niceties and you’re ready to go.  Include an extra processor and your phone’s OS can get a boost in a multiple processing environment.  Suddenly you are truly portable with gigs of space to work from.

While business will go to this first, education will feel the biggest boon.  Students can keep one device and move their operating environment (including special settings they may benefit from) from location to location, seemlessly.  This device is on the right path.  Now it just needs a massive monitor, maybe even one buried behind a mirror.
