Scientists will be discussing what has been dubbed 'Tower of Babel' technology - software that can converge different wireless gadgets into a single device. The aim for Software Defined Radio (SDR) is to be able to translate and understand any kind of radio wave signal, such as 3G or wi-fi. Researchers say SDR gadgets could become commonplace in five to 10 years.</i>"<br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/augusto-20061006-radiowaves.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/><br /><br />I find it amusing how all new technology is suppose to become common place in five to ten years. What about three years? is that to unreasonable? ;)<br /><br />As Janak has stated over at <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/index.php?action=expand,51693&/software-defined_radio_under_discussion.htm">Pocket PC Thoughts</a>, this could be the holy grail of mobile technology! I for one can't wait until we have Software Defined Radio devices! :)
