Your Next Computer

Newsweek has a special report on how cell phones will soon make the PC obsolete.

"The emergence of mobile phones around the world has been slow but overwhelmingly momentous.

Sales of mobile phones dwarf the sales of televisions, stereos, even the hallowed personal computer. There are 1.5 billion cell phones in the world today, more than three times the number of PCs.

"One day, 2 or 3 billion people will have cell phones, and they are all not going to have PCs," says Jeff Hawkins, inventor of the Palm Pilot and the chief technology officer of PalmOne. "The mobile phone will become their digital life."
