On December 9, 1968, Douglas C. Engelbart and the group of 17 researchers working with him in the Augmentation Research Center at Stanford Research Institute in Menlo Park, CA, presented a 90-minute live public demonstration of the online system, NLS, they had been working on since 1962. The public presentation was a session in the of the Fall Joint Computer Conference held at the Convention Center in San Francisco, and it was attended by about 1,000 computer professionals. This was the public debut of the computer mouse. But the mouse was only one of many innovations demonstrated that day, including hypertext, object addressing and dynamic file linking, as well as shared-screen collaboration involving two persons at different sites communicating over a network with audio and video interface.
WiFi Blackberry in the works. Supposedly you will be able to roam between cellular and 802.11x WiFi networks. And make voice over IP (VOIP) calls when connected to the internet. They don't give dates, but do say "not before the spring."
802.11x wireless networking is the only thing missing from the Treo 600. (Well, okay, I'd take a 2 megapixel camera and a higher resolution screen.) We are definitely getting there. Next year is going to be fun.
