"Computer! On screen!"

I think we are gradually moving towards the production of a tricorder-like device as our standard all-in-one mobile information and communications manager. Mobile phones and PDAs are gradually merging into one spectrum of computing power on communications and organisation devices. As for the Real Trek Experience, I doubt many of us would need atmospheric scanners, geiger counters or geological survey equipment on our handhelds. Perhaps they'd be add-on accessories for the die-hard weirdo. What most of us would like or employ on a regular basis would probably be about the same as what we have now, just to a greater degree, with a more powerful computer back-end and more available.

PS - So I guess I'm hanging out for the Nokia Tricorder 4215.
PPS - Or perhaps the Palm Tricorder III.
