I'm beginning to think that the promised land of mobile computing will not (cannot?) be reached until we have truly ubiquitous and robust wireless service that allows the creation of a mobile device that only requires minimal computing capablity but is tied to the home (or work) PC...with the stationary PC doing most of the heavy lifting. This would create an environment where the mobile device is mostly used as a portable display along with a few other necessary local capabilities (e.g. phone, GPS, etc.) and therefore allows a whole lot of innovation and functionality to be done at the backend. Then each of us could have a mobile device that does exactly what *we* want it to do.
Think graphical timesharing with a portable 'terminal'....
