Great article.
All three devices (laptop, PDA, and cell) will have there place for many years to come. I hope they keep making all three devices smaller/thinner and more integrated. It is true that many people carry there phone and iPod everywhere. If a PPC had better battery life could easily replace the iPod. Bluetooth is the key to getting all the devices to work together. With Bluetooth you can:
- Answer your phone with a Bluetooth ear piece.
- Listen to your MP3’s with an ear piece.
- Use your cars hands free to dial and talk on the phone in the car.
- Play MP3’s from the laptop or PDA over Bluetooth to a hands free kit. This is will be intergraded into the many cars audio system in the near future.
- You can sync your Laptop’s contact/address/tasks/note information to your PDA and phone
- Use your Bluetooth GPS to send info to the PDA or Laptop
- Use the GPS data to give voice prompts over the PDA over the car radio or an ear piece to guild you on your route.
- Use GPRS data to reroute the GPS software were there are accidents or road construction.
- Best of all surf the net using the PDA or Laptop over Bluetooth to a GPRS enabled phone.
All these are possible with out wires today using a combination of all three devices. This is a link of my current three devices (the second post)
