I like another item at the end of the article, that Apple is working on wrist computers. (Do those even exist in SR4? - I guess you'd just call it a commlink and move on) |

Google to the Rescue O.o
Hopefully, they will have good enough resolution to use them for some multimedia stuff too . . |

Smart phones these days are almost commlinks in SR4 anyway. All they're missing is the CPU power to play World Of Warcraft in true 3D HD, or the ability to think you're really getting fellatio. |

If I had a smart phone that had the ability to make me think I'm really getting fellatio, I don't think I'd ever leave my house. |

And once again there is proof that the only part of SR dumpshockers really want, is the simsense.

You don't want magic back, you want yourself to have magic back. Big difference (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

So, this is the, what, 15th year in a row we're getting really usable AR hardware by the end of the year? Might have missed a few ones in the '90s though...
