Motorola Atrix = Palm Foleo?
Anyone remember the Foleo? Seems to have come 4 years too early.
Specifically - I had spec'd up a dist of linux that would work the way the Atrix claims to today... it was based on a kiosk computing design white paper I wrote in 2002...
I couldn't convince anyone at the time with my main premise which was that going forward 100% of our digital identity would be carried in the phone.
The problem that the current implementations of such systems have is that they are being driving by the wrong organizations - Carriers and Handset Manufacturers... the parties with the least innovation incentive. The ONLY incentive ANY of these companies have is incremental profit.
