This isn't like saying "no one will ever need more than 640K of memory", this is like saying "no one will ever need a jet powered bratwurst". I'm not saying that people will never need more memory, speed, etc. than they have now, I'm saying they will never need something completely ridiculous. When you can find me an app for a jet powered bratwurst, please let me know. I'll believe a PBX is useful on a mobile phone at the same time, around when you show that it is vital that the phone contain a full sized freezer for storing meat. I'll name some other absurd ideas right now, just so we can get them out of the way: 1) BGP implementation for OpenMoko "so you can use it as a backbone router!" 2) MRI and CT scanner drivers "so you can run your medical imaging equipment on it in emergencies!" 3) [EMAIL PROTECTED] client "so you can run your batteries down as fast as possible and not have your phone survive the morning commute!" 4) Automated application to call the police every ten minutes and generate a random bomb threat that it reads through a voice synthesizer. I'm sure everyone reading can come up with more. -- Perry E. Metzger [EMAIL PROTECTED]
