Toshiba cellphone that doubles as a secretary
According to a report by Asahi.com, Toshiba is developing a new technology for mobile phones that can turn them into virtual secretaries. How this works is it first monitors a user's current behavior patterns and location. From there, it will "predict" his future actions based on the available data and give relevant information, much like how a real secretary works.
Like many of Japan's mobile-related technologies, this will probably be available only in its home country initially. Those who we imagine that will benefit greatly from this are Japanese wives who are constantly suspicious of their husband's pretty assistants.
