You may remember how, during CTIA, I harped on how the cellular industry was rapidly entering the computing mainstream and the industry didn't have a Clue about it? (The image is from a cellular re-seller, but look at the whole page to see how far from next year's reality these people are.)

Here is more evidence. Toshiba's stand at a monitor trade show in Seattle this week will feature new cellular phone displays that can take input as well as output in very high resolution.

Last month's nVidia announcements point the way toward cell phones whose ability to handle and show complex data sets will be comparable to the broadband PC you're likely using to access this. Not only does the Toshiba announcement point to screens that can show all that good stuff, like video, it points to cell phones being used to input, not just video data, but all kinds of data, turning them into all-purpose computer interfaces.

And, as I said, the industry is not ready for this at all.
