Are pocket computers possible?

Yes, they're called Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), they're not very popular anymore.

Blackberry's are more popular.

yes everybody relized that a labtop is much better....exspecially for the money

The chokepoints are user input, display size, connectabilty, power demand, and heat dissipation. Contempororary chips and circuitry can be - and are - used to make a very, very small, fully funtioning computer - down to multi-gigabyte hard drives, all occupying not much more space than the size of a Compact Flash card. Add in a useable display, a minimum of physical connection ports, a battery capable of drivin' the rig for any appreciable amount of time, along with some coolin' provisions and a usable means of operator input, and the size goes up exponentially.

Wireless connectivity options - WiFi or Bluetooth, for instance, could be used to overcome the size barrier imposed by physical connections, but there are still the issues of display, power, heat and some practical way for the user to interact with the critter.

The barriers are crumblin', though. Its only a matter of time. A mid-line $100 video card today has far more processin' power and on-board memory than did an entire high-end $2500 computer of a decade ago, which was itself far more capable than the room-sized vacuum-tube-filled, $Million-plus behemoths that were the first true computers, barely 50 years ago.

Check out this thing. I'll take it!

that's pretty cool but they nickle and dime you for the accessories big time - not to mention it's already very spendy

I just noticed it's not much bigger than my Dell Axim
