Time to review the so-called [[hardware requirements]] and see if they are actually [[e-waste]] creation non-requirements.

:I view the hardware requirements as something that by market dynamics will be implemented because of demand for such versatile techonologies as [[Bluetooth]] for example. [[NFC]] is another thing that will in my guess be wildly popular within a few years if the mobile phone manufacturers decide to go that way. I guess i should contact the major vendors for inquiring about their intentions regarding [[NFC]] because for [[Consumerium:Usability]] it would be great feature on mobile terminals. It is not controversial and potentially dangerous as [[RFID]] is seen by many.n --[[User:Juxo|Juxo]] 13:49, 10 Mar 2004 (EET)

::These are just assumptions, and "intentions" mean nothing.  Again I refer to [[PCS base station handoff]], which was certainly intended and promised, but which quite a few small companies died waiting for.  Let's not go that way.  THere is also no demand for "technologies", there is demand for features.

::Perhaps true, but, until it hits the [[retail shelf]], it's not our problem, nor our opportunity.  [[Paper Consumerium]] is far more promising an avenue, and after that, I'd shoot for [[audio]] delivery using [[FM radio]] or [[cordless protocol]].  These other things always take longer than you think, and only a tiny number of people have them.
 
------------------
 
The term '''[[e-waste]]''' is actually inadequate as it focuses on [[waste disposal]] and not the whole [[comprehensive outcome]], e.g. of [[tantallum]] mining.
