Guest MorphFx Posted July 30, 2004 Report Posted July 30, 2004 Posted from my Spv e200. i was thinking how long will it be before we can eradicate desktops laptops and pdas and replace them with some kind of smart-I-face device. i don't think the smart phone platform should be limited by its form factor. its only a matter of implementing some sort of usb port that could interface your smart device with your big inch lcd , keyboard, mouse etc . once the processing and memory power is there i think we will be carrying our computers around with us 247. now thats a fitting description for a personal computer in the 21st century!
Guest nickcornaglia Posted July 31, 2004 Report Posted July 31, 2004 IBM had a prototype of what is probably the first step in this direction. I little black box that you plug into dummy terminals (keyboard, mouse, monitor). It allowed you to use the same "pc" at home and at work...or where ever you go. Havn't heard anything about it in a long time. Slap a LCD screen on the device and it could function as a PDA as well. Scale the thing down a bit and add a radio, and you have the package in a smartphone form. It will come one day in some form. but unfortunately I cant answer your question and tell you the exact day and time! :P
Guest kalinte Posted July 31, 2004 Report Posted July 31, 2004 i dont think you're not going to miss you pc in this lifetime. the boob tube has been here with us earlier than the pc and its still here. the old box. the pc will go smaller but some will still like their cpu the old fashion way. big, metal packed with 2.6 Ghz, 512 DDRAM, Geforce4, etc.
Guest Pigo Posted July 31, 2004 Report Posted July 31, 2004 yeah some people like that, but the smartphone is here aswell. I see the smartphone as my laptop. I can do whatever I want with it. it's just a matter of time before something even better is about. just imagin. the SPV C500 works with a 200Mhz processor. how long has it been since 200Mhz was the new thing for computer nerds? now I can do the same things and store it in my pocket. I love that Idea just wait. pretty soon there will be phones/PDA's that have the speed and versatility of our current computers. Windows XP-mobile hehehe :twisted: ten's of Gb's storage space. you name it. Pigo
Guest squall Posted July 31, 2004 Report Posted July 31, 2004 my first pc was 200mhz, that was about 8-9 years ago...
Guest beersoft Posted July 31, 2004 Report Posted July 31, 2004 hehehe i'll hijack the thread for some CPU speed willy waving my first pc had a whopping 4.77mhz cpu :P back on topic, the way of computers might go towards the old style mainframe/thin clients/terminal services type of thing a bit like, the device you use is just an input (keyboard+mouse/touchscreen/voice/vague hand gestures etc..) and an output (screen of some sort and/or audio, or tactile feedback) and a bit of cpu to deal with the network traffic and the io stuff. or computers/phones/everything keep getting fast, smaller, cheaper and more connected later Owen
Guest mcwarre Posted July 31, 2004 Report Posted July 31, 2004 Mine was a 486SX25 (no maths co-processor) with 4Mb of RAM at £100 a MEG!!!!
Guest Pondrew Posted July 31, 2004 Report Posted July 31, 2004 Mine was a 486SX25 (no maths co-processor) with 4Mb of RAM at £100 a MEG!!!! Sounds like my old system. Then my bro was kind enough to upgrade it to a whopping 66mhx dx2 (think that's what it was called)! Think I had about 24 meg back then!
Guest MorphFx Posted August 2, 2004 Report Posted August 2, 2004 I think it will continue to go in the direction of... everything keep getting fast, smaller, cheaper and more connected Looking way ahead now... it will proabably end up being part of you and not something you put in ya pocket...hmm bio-puters would you trust Microsoft with interfacing with your bio systems? :P Talking of first computers (alas not a bonafide PC but), mine was a Commodore 16 (16K of memory, strange, it was newer than the C64 but had less memory!), I reckon I could probably get 100 of those emulated and running simultaneously on me SPV, but I think I would have trouble finding a reason to do so!
Guest MECX Posted August 3, 2004 Report Posted August 3, 2004 like this little thing mate, http://www.oqo.com/hardware/specs/ check the specs and watch the video if possible. or this sony thing (site is in japanese) http://www.jp.sonystyle.com/Style-a/Product/U/ :-D :-D
