The estiamtes say that they will use the cell-phone to access the internet, email, etc. I doubt that there are 2 billion pc's in use in the world.

>>LOL... you saw that too? I've given up trying to understand what he's talking about. Cell-phones, UMPCs, PDA's and future developments to down-size pc's will render today's desktops obsolete.

>OK, let's set the date, what about 1-1-2015. If there are no desktops, laptops or media centers by then, and only handheld devices, then I am wrong. But seen history repeat itself over the last 50 years, I don't think I will be wrong.
Who said there wouldn't be any? I said they'd be obsolete and it may take more than 8 years. Read the press reports from Google's recent partnerships with the Telecomm people. If google is betting the store on the viability of pocket/mobile based pc computing, I'd rather believe them than a self-proclaimed visionary who is still using VFP.
