On the Information Superhighway, you are in cruise control. Manufacturers of telephones, computers, and PDAs are asking the same question. The 'Palm Pilot' organiser now thinks it is a telephone with built-in dialing to the Internet. And PCs are getting into the act by being as small and portable as both PDAs and mobiles.

This high level of use makes them the devices that have to be beaten. People like their compactness, light weight and ease of use. They are basically great for voice communication. While mobiles are great for voice communication, they fall down in other areas. The screen size is too small to do anything beyond entering telephone numbers, and reading very short messages.
