Your thinking here is too limited. The real future direction is complete immersion, as in no more physical body needed after it wears out. You then become a part of the computer cloud. Also, computer technology is evolving so fast that a fully immersed human will barely be able to tell it apart from reality, other than the fact that just about anything is possible. Compare Pacman to Crysis. That's how far we have come in 30 years. Since computer speed is increasing exponentially, the gains in the next 30 years will be even more impressive by comparison. Also, the young field of Optogenetics holds promise in direct computer/brain interfaces. Several projects such as Blue Brain are making real progress in whole brain simulation.

Things are beamed directly onto your retina every time you open your eyelids (unless it's pitch black).

"As an aside, why are Engadget showing a picture of an HD2 - which is a phone - against an iPod Touch - which is a PMP."

Engadget didn't take that photo, the Russian site that did the review did. It's probably all they had around to compare to.

Hot Indian chicks too.

The concept of a phone will disappear by the time we have brain links.

No Mac support, correct?

So they chose the worst chocolate available to imitate?
