Trillian Equivalent for Phones and Credit Cards
Last week’s buzz about interoperable instant messaging software made me think why there is no such effort for phones and credit cards. With all the gizmos like ipod, multiple cell phones and digital cameras techies may have to start wearing tools belt. Luckily there have been efforts for putting music player, camera and credit card in to cell phones. But I do not see any major efforts to combine all your phone numbers to one device. Most of the people these days have at least two cell phones, work & home. To start with it would be really helpful to have one device for multiple cell phone numbers. Later your Landline / VOIP numbers can be combined to same device. There are call forwarding facilities but there is no true integration in this manner. I personally think this combined cell phone would be in greater demand then those claimed “ipod killer” cell phones. Similarly combine all my debit and credit cards in one. Even though that would make my wallet lighter, I will not complain about it 
There have been a big push towards unified messaging lately and I hope my wish gets integrated in that.
Update: Cell phone as guide and as game controller
