The Las Vegas 2006 Consumer Electronic Show revealed to us a bright future for the personal tech electronic industry, as technology gets smaller, more portable and human friendly. We heard of wrist watch cell phones, PDAs, iPods, MP3 Players and the like all GPS enabled and capable of decent bandwidth Internet Surfing and email capability. Many now believe that as GPS 3G technologies move into 3.5 G and 4G they will alert people as they drive buy their favorite stores, this will also occur in Ford pickups and also be integrated thru GM "onstar" I have written extensively on this for many years. The online directory sites for local areas, must be integrated into your Cell Phone PDA voice activated Microsoft enabled watch, with you M-Tunes. All these systems will be linked to way-points and locations on the GPS grid and have full access to online business directories with addresses, which can alert you immediately when you are near lets say a Starbucks Coffee House or a Sushi Restaurant. Many also believed at the time that the purchase of the online phone books was a mistake of the major phone company and they got had and paid too much for them, thus wasted shareholders assets (Cash on hand). Yet if they take this information and integrate it into these new personal tech handheld-GPS enabled devices, then it could have been the smartest move they ever made. Think on this in 2006. |
