Various sources are pointing to this – it’s a prototype of a personal server that (it says) may replace laptops and PDAs altogether. Basically it appears to be a large (capacity, if not physical size) hard disk with a bluetooth module bolted onto the side that runs as a web server.
My first reaction was “wow, want one”, but then a couple of minutes and reading an post about the iPod interface made me start to wonder. Isn’t Apple a lot closer to this already? The iPod is effectively a data storage device that has a reason to sit in your pocket. Bolt on a bluetooth module and a webserver, and there’s the pocket-sized personal server. This strikes me as one of those applications which is more likely to evolve from something that exists already than be introduced as a completely new device?
