When I am working on my Laptop and I get a phone call i just feel like opening my IM/skype/cliciking a few buttons and seeing who is calling,where he is located,and go ahead and recieve the call through my laptop speakers or headphones.it appears such a pain to look at a miserable piece of equipment,streching itself into the webworld ,which I use or have to use to take a call.
I wish a mobile interface was on my Laptop,minimised to the tray,popping up for the call,and going back in.
So many fantastic cards,plugs,wires jacks poke my laptop,why not one more slot for the SIM card?
I do sound stupid,about the suggestion,about what I would do lugging a laptop for making a call. My Electronics engineer brother,who works for a telecom company found it stupid and was at pains explaining about the stupidity of the suggestion.I tried to get a feel of the magnitude of the stupidity,for if was stupid enough,it would be the latest invention!
My dear,This is just a number the mobile company gifted me,with my laptop,its an additional number. When I am on my Laptop I would,simply hook my principal mobile into the multi SIM capable interface,with a SIM already.Now both my numbers integrated i can happily work on Notebook,and feel safe about having to wade through the jungle of the wires,popcorn plates,Pillows and linen Coffee mugs and CD/pendrives,to locate my mobile device.to my laptop SIM
If I so wished i would divert all calls to my laptop,and feel doubly sorted.
What would it take in terms of hardware and software? The processor of laptop would be happy to run the interface program.A small mobile chip that has the SIM slot culd be built in.The power wold be drawn,from the main battery.
Web capability? Do away with the Datacard. The SIM dials the internet on my phone through the WAP browser or GPRS. My laptop could do the same. The biggest advantage would be 3G capability.The skype type call would be a reality and much faster,neater.
Wow...lets see if anyone picks up the cue..
