    Before they come out with a cell phone that is wearable on your wrist?

    Watch styles are getting bigger and heavier. Electronics are shrinking.

    When can I stop carrying a phone in my pocket or clipped to my belt? Of course a bluetooth earpiece will still be necessary.

    Discuss.

    I'm sure they could do it already. They are sure small enough... I've seen tiny ones that people wear around their neck.

    Still I would never wear a cell phone watch, simply because I don't have the pocket protector, thick glasses, and (insert other nerd stuff here) to match.

    Technology aside, wait till they start piping advertisements into your phone/PDA based on where you are in reference to the merchant.

    I was just about to plug it in.

    You know, considering that I've spent like $5000 out-of-pocket at my dentist this year, I should already have one of those.

    (Kids, don't drink soda. Or at least keep it under 4 per day.)

    I can't decide which direction cell phones will evolve toward. I used to think that phones would eventually become stand-alone ear pieces that would operate exclusively with voice commands, but the popularity of Blackberry and other media devices makes me think otherwise now.

    I see no point in doing this other than satisfying some long lost Bat-belt fantasy!

    21st C will b the age of the Cyborg

    I just read about a scientist in Japan who is working on an electric exoskeleton to help paralyzed people move

    This could also help te elderly, people in therapy,

    of course the army has been researching Cyborg tech since the 50s at least
