Net in your pocket close to reality
New developments in chip technology should allow a mini-computer that fits in your pocket to be available as soon as next year, letting you surf the Web, search for friends or record and upload video.
Speaking at the Intel Development Forum in Taiwan, Intel vice-president and Ultra Mobility Group assistant general manager, Gadi Singer, demonstrated a range of mobile Internet devices (MID) and ultra mobile personal computers (UMPC), which he believes will provide the full Internet experience in your hand.
"The Internet is going to become mobile, but the experience [today] is lacking. Today's mobile devices don't offer the full Internet experience," said Singer.
