There was a lot of brand new technology introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show at the opening of the year. At this point is the time when that new technology has started to come out and become presented to the public.

There is finally word about the Palm Pre coming out soon. The New York Times said yesterday that the phone would be coming out the earliest week of June. The phone, which has been hailed as the device that may very well save Palm from the rim of ruin, has a new and “revolutionary” operating system called WebOS. Palm hasn’t created a new operating system in countless years.

Then there is one more mobile device gartering some attention: the innovative Acer Aspire One netbooks have new features like a multi-gesture touchpad (think iPhone like gestures for a laptop touchpad), a card reader that reads numerous different formats than just SD or Memory Stick Pro, and one of the largest screens for a “netbook.” At just over 11”, the A0751h is starting to traverse into the ultra portable category where 12” laptops can sell for well above $1,500. However the A0751h keeps its price at around $350 MSRP.


With the launch of new technologies, it is becoming more and more tough to draw the line at what is a PC, what is a cellular phone, and the difference between a netbook and a ultra portable laptop. Sure, when you look at a cell phone, you can see that it is a device that is subsidized by a cellular carrier, GSM phones have SIM cards…But, now there are netbooks that are being subsidized by cellular companies (that even require SIM cards for AT&T). Then there is a whole new class of MIDs (Mobile Internet Devices) that are handheld computers that are able to do the majority of the things that netbooks can do.

I think that one day soon, the computer and the cell phone will be one device. Kind of like how there aren’t as many people carrying around cameras any longer since their phones’ cameras have comparatively good resolution (or in the case of the Samsung Memoir for T-Mobile, it has an 8 megapixel camera attached). I wouldn’t mind having a device that did it all…camera, phone, computer. I already have a laptop I leave at home, a Palm Centro for my telephone calls, a netbook for taking to school and traveling, and a digital camera…being able to have all of these devices in one place would be great.

Fear can sometimes be a useful emotion. For instance, let's say you're an astronaught on the moon and you fear that your partner has been turned into Dracula. The next time he goes out for the moon pieces, wham!, you just slam the door behind him and blast off. He might call you on the radio and say he's not Dracula, but you just say, 'Think again, bat man'...
