What will the world be like...

mimo2005 · 12-06-2005, 02:35 PM

What will the world be like in 30 years?

Will America still be the main superpower?
Will our cars need oil to operate?
Will there be more wars and violence, or more peace and prosperity?

Is our world heading in the direction of progress and advancement or entering a new deadly era of hostility and conflict?

And finally, what do you think your neighbourhood will look like by then?

cool stuff ,

how much now ? not in 30 years :)

**40sondacurb** · 12-06-2005, 05:33 PM

it's not out in the states yet but you can get a Korean one now for 6 or 7 hundred USD.

It should be releasing here soon, and when it does I imagine it to be around $500USD.

here's how to get one, http://www.pmpmaniac.net/index.php?o...v=0&topic=52.0

well it's a movie and audio player first and formost. I'm not to familiar with pocket PCs but from what I understand they don't play movies or audio well, and if they do then their juice hogs that don't get more than 3 hours a charge. Plus most pocket pcs are windows based.

is there a PDA that surpasses this thing? if there is I'd appreciate knowing about it so I could buy it.

**Grove** · 12-06-2005, 06:03 PM

Don't suppose you have the price somewhere for one of those gadgets ?

**Grove** · 12-06-2005, 06:17 PM

China would be way overpopulated by then. They will probably flood over into Russia.
