        Check out Gartner's' (a think tank) predictions about the future
of Human-Computer interfaces over the next ten years:

        My favorite bit is on page two: "In the mobile context, however,
new modes such as handwriting and speech will begin to augment the
pen-based interfaces. By 2005, more than 70 percent of new personal
digital assistants will offer native support for acceptable cursive
handwriting recognition and voice command capabilities (0.8
probability)."

        Sounds a little familiar, doesn't it?
