Abstract:
A true multimedia device is emerging that might become a powerful tool in the age of converged communication; computing, and content (CCC). Communication, computing, and content are converging, but this convergence's process has the characteristic of people viewing the converged space through the viewpoint of their own area. Thus, it's not uncommon to see CCC dominated by one area. The most interesting example is that of phones. People started realizing that mobile phones are powerful and are likely to become a dominant CCC device. Computing people got into action and now we see an increasing number of computer-like phones appearing. These devices often have full keyboards for interfacing with the Internet and email. What's equally interesting is that the purpose of these devices is to browse the Internet, in addition to email, and even receive documents.
