I've said that I think a government will fall where the resistance will be organised by mobiles. And that I'm not predicting it'll definitely be Zimbabwe. Err...not sure how to be clearer. Please can you clarify? Russell Steve C – not sure what your question is. I’ve said that I think a government will fall where the resistance will be organised by mobiles. And that I’m not predicting it’ll definitely be Zimbabwe.

Err…not sure how to be clearer. Please can you clarify?

Hasn't a government already fallen via the power of the mobile (phillipines, ref Smart Mobs)? Or was that a simple co-ordination of electoral power? Tomi Ahonen pointed out the role mobile is playing already in zimbabwe recently, with sms being sent in from across the border to keep people informed when opposition media is closed down. The mobile is the ultimate representation of decentralisation - that's what makes it such a powerful edge-in tool. Imagine (as some have) a network of phones which act as nodes passing on the messages without the need for 'the network provider'... that would really do it. At the moment there's always the Burmese trick of shutting down the operators. I also like the projector answer to the mobile critics. But not everyone will want to use it all the time. One key mobile strength we all know about is its personal, private nature. Can’t find fault with those chief.

I have some experience with projection devices, especially high end. It looks like home market is moving completely to LCD and Plasma (while Plasma in struggle) and there are some amazing technologies out there in projection like DLP which can't be wasted. Some device manufacturer will come up with a way to integrate it to a handset and will say "You want resolution? Here is 1280x720 HD output at your wall". Also don't forget the business and presentation.. I definitely agree to Projection prediction. I have some experience with projection devices, especially high end.
