Extreme Mobility
Ray Ozzie has a great article titled Extreme Mobility. It's a great read along with Tim O'Reilly's article on networked software.
I've wanted to carry a computer with me for a long time (since the days of the Apple Powerbook Duo), but I've never felt that I could because I'd always be giving something up. The introduction of the Intel Pentium-M and Centrino chipset have convinced me that I won't have to give anything up hardware or performance wise. The question comes down to the software, and from his article, you can see that there's lots to do.
In addition to some great thoughts on mobility, he leaves us with a good insight on innovation:

Regardless, one thing seems certain: with the notable exception of a small number of truly visionary CIO's such as the one mentioned above - exceptional individuals who are willing to move their enterprises forward by taking risks - discovery and innovation in mobility and interpersonal productivity & communications - in "relationship superconductivity" - is being driven primarily from "the edge": from small businesses, organizations and individuals who are experimenting with new communications technologies and software. Innovation now works its way into the enterprise; it no longer migrates outward. The technology leaders of the past - enterprise IT - are now focused (for very good economic reason!!) on cost reduction and efficiency, on "fast solutions", and on a very tough regulatory environment, through strict controls. Liability, and the sheer mass and difficulty of managing broad ICT deployments encourages conservatism, and this won't be changing anytime soon. The new leader in ICT is the fast-moving, pragmatic yet open minded ultra-small business or virtual organization.
