  • Abstract
    A true multimedia device is emerging that might become a powerful tool in the age of converged communication; computing, and content (CCC). Communication, computing, and content are converging, but this convergence´s process has the characteristic of people viewing the converged space through the viewpoint of their own area. Thus, it´s not uncommon to see CCC dominated by one area. The most interesting example is that of phones. People started realizing that mobile phones are powerful and are likely to become a dominant CCC device. Computing people got into action and now we see an increasing number of computer-like phones appearing. These devices often have full keyboards for interfacing with the Internet and email. What´s equally interesting is that the purpose of these devices is to browse the Internet, in addition to email, and even receive documents.
