my goal is to crack open these giant Transfomers Walkie-talkies (that I got as a gag gift) and plug my cell into them somehow. Imagine a 9 inch tall cell phone that looks like Optimus Prime. I can't wait.

They don't need to be embedded, they need WiFi and hard drives.

The question is not what can cellphones be embedded into but what can be embedded into cellphones.

I totally agree with tae667. We need to get wi-fi support and micro hard drives on mobile phones with decent multimedia support.

Then I can finally dump my iPod

I hate cell phones

They're soo irritating I hate my mom's... I'll only get one when Apple makes one... or I'm a pastor and then I'll have to have one...

Either way, I think cell phones need to bridge land line and cellular. IE be on the home net when you're there, when you go out switch to cellular. Or at least be able to pick up both when in the range of both.

At an all nighter recently I saw some youth using their cell phones as flash lights during a game of capture the flag in the dark... there's an idea.

Electric razor is good especially if you have hairy ears, an iron would be not so good - ring ring "Hello...aaaaargh the burning!!!!".

Well, since you can have your land line be your cell number, you're basically already there.
