You really need to take a look at some japanese animation films... mainly the ones that deal with space and futurustic stuff (anime that is made past 2005 that is) and see how they show the characters using cellphones for almost everything in their lives.

One comes to mind where they showed the characters using their cellphone for:

- audio calls
- video calls
- used as debit cards (owner types the amount on cellphone and passes it over a scanning device at the store or touched another cellphone and beep! the money transferred)
- used as ID cards
- used as video game console
- used as a music listening device
- used as a personal computer (via touchscreen much like the i-phone)
- internet access
- flashlight (lcd light .. rather nifty)
- pointer (laser pointer lol)
- taser

and could 'merge' with other cellphones to create a more powerful computer / bigger screen by having the owners put the phones next to each other in a grid.

and all this we can do with today's technology. Its just that the infrastructure to make the phone become all this is not really in place yet but its getting there.

No offense, but you are a little out of touch. I don't think the prevailing feeling is that it has no value just that the graphics getting better and better has lost its allure. The generation before ours was wondering why we would give up face to face social interaction of a complex board game to play pong. It is a cycle for which there is no escape. It does suck to be on the cutting edge of the snubbed technology, but such is life.

Why don't you tell that to the people I deal with then?  I was paraphrasing the many times I have heard, "If I cannot do with my phone, it is not worth doing".  I deal with irritated people because I use email instead ot texting, or twittering.  They do not understand and tell me I am out of touch with how people communicate.

Now, you tell me I am out of touch because I am relaying how they have expressed themselves to me.  So, only question I have is this, "Are you the rock or the hard place?".

I was checking out X-Plane 9 the other night and they have an ady for X-Plane Mobile for your iPhone.  What good could that possibly be?

Oh, that's only because I do not need a GUI to tell me how to do my job.  :)
