Internet in my pants...

Before wireless networking, I wanted very much to play with TCP/IP over ham radio (AX.25). It was very limited.

I don't know if I would have predicted that today I would be walking around with my mass produced phone and $35 per month unlimited data plan wasting bandwidth streaming music over the internet, through the included stereo headset, with which I can also answer or make a calls.

Shouldn't be too much longer before I can mostly stop using the keyboard on my phone.

Voice recognition.

You can do quite a lot with that probably with any current Windows Mobile phone. I can only dial by name, and launch any application with mine (maybe 3 years old).

Have you seen the Swype stuff? I've only seen the commercials, so I don't know how user friendly or accurate it is. But it's an interesting concept. I wonder if it will catch on.

I have trouble wrapping my head around voice recognition completely replacing keyboard. I'm getting to the point where I type faster than I talk. Granted, I've never been cutting edge...
