Why hasn't anyone figured out a way to use a wireless portable computer with a barcode reader that you can use in a store. Swipe the product and electronically pay for it and be on your way. The next big thing in computers will be super small (9" X 4") (about 20cm X 20cm) with a high resolution screen that has a full keyboard, wireless internet access, language interpreters and compilers, full-featured editors and spreadsheet software and is ethernet capable. It will look a little like my Sharp TM-20. Laptops are too big and Palm computers are too small and don't have good portable keyboards nor full-featured productivity programs. It will happen in Japan first and find it's way here in the next year or so.
