In summary, the conversation discusses the potential developments that may rival or surpass the personal computer revolution in the next 5 to 10 years. The conversation mentions the decline of Blackberry and the rise of more user-friendly smart devices such as the Palm Treo. The popularity of wireless high speed data connection cards and broadband smart devices is also mentioned. The conversation also touches upon the features and software availability of the Treo, particularly the new EVDO Treo, and ends with a playful exchange about the name of the device.

With the lawsuit against Blackberry, the fact that it is too proprietary and other smart devices such as the Palm Treo are much more user friendly, it seems to be falling by the wayside.
Wireless high speed data connection cards for laptops that allow you to be online anywhere and broadband smart devices have really been gaining popularity.

Not compared with Treo, there is a lot more software available for it, and rapidly growing. The new EVDO Treo is very cool.Pengwuino said:

1. What is an iPod implant?
An iPod implant is a theoretical technology that has been popularized in science fiction and media. It is essentially a small device that would be implanted into a person's body, allowing them to access music and other media directly through their mind.
2. Is it possible to implant a BlackBerry into someone's body?
Currently, there is no technology available that would allow for a BlackBerry or any other smartphone to be implanted into a person's body. While there have been advances in bioelectronics and implantable technology, the concept of a BlackBerry implant is purely speculative at this time.
3. What are the potential benefits of iPod or BlackBerry implants?
Some potential benefits of iPod or BlackBerry implants could include increased convenience and efficiency in accessing media or information, as well as the potential for enhanced communication abilities. However, there are also ethical and privacy concerns that would need to be addressed before such technology could be implemented.
4. Are there any risks associated with implanting technology into the body?
While there have been successful examples of implantable technology, there are also risks involved. These could include infection, rejection of the implant by the body, and potential damage to surrounding tissues. Additionally, there are ethical concerns about the potential misuse of such technology.
5. Will iPod or BlackBerry implants become a reality in the near future?
At this time, there is no evidence to suggest that iPod or BlackBerry implants will become a reality in the near future. While technology continues to advance and there are ongoing developments in the field of bioelectronics, there are still many hurdles to overcome before such technology could be safely and ethically implemented in humans.
