The future of communications

I have a vision of the unification of communications technologies, from wireless cell phones to wireless highspeed broadband internet.

A special "cell phone" acts as a portal to the internet much like a wireless router with stand-alone capabilities. Through it one may access the internet, personalized information (in a format similar to Google's personalized homepage with modules), email, video and voice communications and recordings, and financial information with bio-ID such as a fingerprint and a voice authentication and electronic ID such as wireless key cards. This ID could be used to protect financial information and transactions. The email could screen for trusted sources, routing all other communications to a quarantine folder. User interaction with the router would supplement voice communication for the traditional qwerty keyboard or painfully slow and awkward upside-down 10-key.

The router would interface with the computer through an ethernet port and it would continuously check for updates and send new information from the user for communication with the highest quality and lowest disruption due to lost or low wireless signals.
