Kanellos: Exceedingly Small Vision

Over at News.Com, perspective is starting to trickle in regarding Intel's Centrino announcements. Michael Kanellos asks "Will wireless computing fundamentally change the relationship people have with their computers..." and then claims, "The future of the PC market hangs on that question."

Unfortunately the rest of his discussion then focuses on rather mundane activities which are mainly desktop PC oriented. A slight nod is given to the potential role of cell phones in the future.

Well I, along with the guys at Mobitopia, think this is fairly shortsighted. Here's my response to Kanellos' question. Yes, if PC stands for "Personal Computing" as opposed to "Personal Computer."

Note that in the very near future, it may be possible to carry out the former without owning any of the latter.
