I also noticed some RFID chip technology being present in that video. interesting. so I assume all these great new concepts will crash frequently and throw errors consistently.

I am reminded of the current iphone advert which shows a user easily downloading and then using an app. And at the bottom of the screen is the inevitable small print - sequence speeded up and steps removed. Lets concentrate on really good mobile connections (I still can't get a phone to work for more than three minutes at a time on the Manchester to London rail line never mind the internet) before worrying about super cool hardware. 10meg mobile broadband with 99% coverage first please!

For example, newspaper are supposed to be big sheets of paper, read at the breakfast table with a cup of coffee. Even the digital one, though it wipes clean and repaginates, does that. My take on all this future stuff, however, is to look at future films of the past -- even as recent as the 1980s. Nobody got the 16:9 television. Even when screens were larger, wall-sized, the 4:3 format still reigned.

I love how the card flipped out and was a business card, a PDA, a TV, really anything you wanted it to be. It would connect with whomever you wanted it to connect. It reminded me of that scene in <i> Big</i> where they were designing all the toys and making up the rules as they went along. This gave me a similar vibe.

I remember in 1990 (back to the future movies) they said we'd be driving hover cars by the year 2000... its almost 10 years since that day and no hover-cars. However, some cool things have come out and changed the way we communicate - lets use community networking as an example or just even the power of the recent Xbox..... b Nice video but is it possible – no on knows….

Government regulations could also be a problem. All a possibility, but only on a much better network and serious data portability advancements. Government regulations could also be a problem.
