What Nelson was talking about already exists. There are phones that have been out for at least a year and a half that are a cell phone and Palm all in one and it has Web Access. So one could make a phone call, check their Palm for their schedule or document and then send it over the internet all using that one unit. Technology is amazing. the only thing that would concern me is when someone looses their phone/palm. THAT would be horrible. Until things are much more secure and reliable, I will stick to my Franklin Covey planner. Although for it to benefit me, I will have to actually use it.
