Dream Gadget: iPhone with Laptop

What a user need a combination of cell phone and a laptop, isn't it? Both the toys have their significance and equally needed throughout a day and night. If we can ever design one consolidated master piece of technology that would be awesome. Don't you think so? Would look like a dream come true to make turtles dance again. One don't need to carry two gadgets, carrying cases, multiple adapters, back up of varied kind to data flying in between iPhone and Laptops, worrying to expand the memory of one anther. We will be free from multiple downloads of utilities that can consolidate our data and connect to outlook, digital camera, video streaming, Internet Explorer, integration with multi platforms of handle held technologies. Can you imagine iPhone with an Intel chip in it advanced USB port that can take any kind of plug in for any device and could suggest a suitable download to connect to that device using Google's advanced search engine capabilities leading to the Web 3.0

One often gets these technology shivers, but the reality breaks the ice on a different tangent. And, start building our needs around it. Sometimes, I get confused who is driving, are these our emerging needs or the technology derived from someone's crap making us follow a newly invented route that could make all of our existence obsolete in due course of time.

In this cat and mouse play, when we look back it feels like we have come a long a way. But, when you see ahead it seems a longway to go..

News: Email Security in iPhone

iPhone is of no use to business clients, if it does not support the corporate delivery for corporate emails. That is why, Sybase Inc. has already planned selling the software, which could help the popular device gain use among business clients by allowing them to access their emails.

The program for Apple Inc.'s iPhone will be released before the end of this year. The new program will let workers use the iPhone to access their e-mail with the same security safeguards that are currently available in products for use on Treo smartphones from Palm Inc. and Research in Motion's BlackBerry.

Sybase is also working on similar software for Android, a new smartphone platform that Google Inc. is developing with dozens of other companies. Android is being put together by the Open Handset Alliance, a collection of 30+ companies, including Intel, TI, Sprint, T-Mobile, HTC, Motorola, Samsung, and Wind River.

This group is putting the finishing touches on this platform, which will consist of a Linux-based operating system, middleware, and key mobile applications. Many of these are likely to tie into Google's services, like Gmail and Google Maps.

Because this platform will be open source, the Alliance hopes it will be quickly extended to incorporate new technologies as they emerge.
In addition, it will be open to third-parties to create applications using Java.

The new Sybase software programs will allow businesses to deliver e-mail to several different types of phones, depending on which device a user carries.
