		<description>Projector on a phone sounds good, will it project a 3d image of the person you are talking to? I guess not. Will it project your contact list so you can pass on a phone number without having to hang up and access the address book seperately. I guess not. I suppose it will be yet another standalone app that has its own button, and only really serves to light up your groin unepectedly as you&#039;re driving home. SAY COMMAND!</description>

		<description>@Graham, http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/07/10/japan_to_fund_oled_rnd/ suggests they&#039;re working 40&quot; today, but 27&quot; screens aren&#039;t far away - see http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/news/index.cfm?newsid=109194

It&#039;s expensive to build at the moment but it will get cheaper - and bigger :-)</description>

		<description>Fascinating article - thanks! The only one I don&#039;t agree with is hydro-cars. The problem is that creating the hydrogen requires energy and this must be generated somehow. Most power stations only add to global warming, so it&#039;s not a great solution. Then every petrol station would need to be converted to hydro.

The only solution is more energy efficient cars, and less car use - hence better public transport. But since, in my area, it costs me more to buy a ticket on First bus than to drive into the city and park for 5 hours, it&#039;s unlikely to happen.

Re: OLED screens, are these really big enough to go up to TV size (32 inch, say?)</description>

		<description>Re mobile phones becoming more than telephones, I think that the gradual creep of non-telephony features into what we currently call a mobile phone is actually changing our definition of a phone. 

If I say, &quot;I&#039;ve lost my phone&quot; or &quot;I&#039;m getting a new phone&quot; do you picture a mobile phone or a landline phone? Right, so the word &quot;phone&quot; has already become synonymous with &quot;mobile phone&quot;. Now consider these statements: &quot;I&#039;ll check the football scores on my phone&quot;, &quot;I&#039;ve got the photos on my phone&quot;, &quot;My phone battery was low so I couldn&#039;t listen to music&quot;. To me, there is no apparent contradiction in using a phone for more than talking. When you picture a phone you may be picturing a multi-function wirelessly networked computer but you still call it a phone. I don&#039;t think that&#039;s about to change.</description>

		<description>&gt; I also think the Wii console will finally be seen for what it is, a fad.

Oooh, I&#039;m not sure I agree with you on that one, especially considering my Mother now has a Wii and loves it.  The Wii is expanding the Games Console market in a way the XBOX and PS3 just isn&#039;t!</description>

		<description>I think the Sony PS3 will finally take a hold, it will catch the Xbox360 (5m behind currently).  I also think the Wii console will finally be seen for what it is, a fad.</description>
