Look for those numbers to triple if the $99 IPhone rumors become true.

What we are witnessing is the beginnings of the transformation of the computer industry. Big, bulky PCs at home and clunky laptops are on their way out. Within the next few years, everybody's "computer" will be in their pocket and they will have all their files and programs stored online so if they ever lose their "pocket pc" they will be able to quickly and wirelessly retrieve their custom apps and files with a different device.

People will still have keyboards and large monitors at home that these pocket devices can plug into. In fact, you will soon be able to use your television as a monitor so for example when you stay in a hotel or are visiting somebody, you can just hit a button and show a movie or get some email or web surfing done on pretty much any TV (which are all digital these days).

The iPhone and iPod products will eventually merge into one powerful product that does it all and will render those big computer cases and laptops obsolete. They are even designing trousers that have keyboards embedded in them where you can type on an airplane or in other tight spaces as if you had a full-size keyboard in your lap. You will essentially have the left side of the keyboard on your left leg trousers and the right side of the keyboard on the right side of the trousers. They need to be careful where to put the mouse however, lest others think you are playing with yourself.

These are the keyboard trousers I am talking about...

Soon to be part of the standard corporate dress code!

Pardon my stupidity, but what’s DRM?

I haven’t moved into the iPhone generation yet, but would like to at some point.
