a free 'feature' to be installed on your cell phone. Anything is possible. What do you choose?
Me? I'd choose a hair dryer feature...

a located thing with gps would be cool. When people call the po po they never know where they are. If they give me the GPS coordinates I would be golden.

That can be done with some plutonium but I wouldn't place that phone near my head...

the feature that whomever I am calling is available to answer (must answer!!!) and then do whatever I request of them (must do it!!!)
other than that, I like my phone.

This is something that's being banged around on our legislative floors right now, Joe. Some day the govermnent will require this of all phones to have this GPS style coordination feature. Which can be quite scary and helpful at the same time, yes?

Only activates with 911. One would need very sophisticated software and equipment to do it really.
Actually, we can get copies of cellular phone records (via supeona) of cellular phone movements to prove or not prove if someone was in the area or not.
Also we have had suicidal people on the phone that we had to get the phone companies to help us triangulate the position.
It would be quite helpful yes. I do not think it would be intrusive because there would be a lot of adminstrative stuff for when we activate it and stuff.

Yeah!! plus it would be great if it can convert the language. So like I won't be self-conscious when the Spanish speaking bunch that are having a conversation and look over in my direction. I'll know they aren't talking about me......they are just making sure that I don't understand their discussion.

I want to push a button and take over small defenseless countries.
I can already do that from my Palm Pilot but it's kind of slow.

"Sandy, what's that behind your back?"
"It's India & a number of other countries"
"Give them back..."
"Oh, allright."
