He uses it to tell him his lecture notes, and suggests that we can use it for email.

Cool. This guy goes to my university. I'll have to meet him someday. Any thoughts?

I envy you, tell him that the student and lecturer in me can appreciate thousands of uses for this kind of invention! Some day we'll have a PPC that docks into full-size peripherals and can be undocked anytime (No syncing - all data is there), that acts as our wallets, car keys, cell phones, and more. If we lose it, we'll simply call up a special "de-activation" number, deactivate our old unit, go to the store, buy a new one for $10, plug it in to charge and restore, and when we get up from a half-hour power nap, we're back to normal.

Great times ahead, I'm glad I'll be around to see them!
