These days, it seems that most Americans carry three things in their pockets or purses at all times: keys, a wallet and a phone.

imagine if you could get online anywhere you liked — in a taxi, on the beach, in a hotel with disgustingly overpriced Wi-Fi — without messing around with cellular modems. What if you had a personal Wi-Fi bubble, a private hot spot, that followed you everywhere you go?

Incredibly, there is such a thing. It’s the Novatel MiFi 2200, available from Verizon starting in mid-May ($100 with two-year contract, after rebate). It’s a little wisp of a thing, like a triple-thick credit card. It has one power button, one status light and a swappable battery that looks like the one in a cellphone. When you turn on your MiFi and wait 30 seconds, it provides a personal, portable, powerful, password-protected wireless hot spot.

Smarr believes this ultra-broadband will transform the internet for the rest of us. Already in Japan, a one gigabit-per-second fibre-optic home connection costs just $US51 ($A73) a month.

"You're going to see the merging of the virtual and physical world into some kind of new hybrid world," he says. "As we move to having your own personal 'light pipes', the ability to mix the virtual and physical world become quite extreme. Imagine a birthday party where you're in Melbourne, your grandparents are in Japan, your aunts and uncles are in San Francisco.

"With this light pipe and high-resolution video you have one wall of your living room dissolve and there are your grandparents; another wall dissolves and it's the aunts and uncles, and you're in one big room. These are the kind of things that will throw our intuitive sense of the physical world out the window."

If Google search revolutionized the Web, and Gmail revolutionized free e-mail, then one thing’s for sure: Google Voice, unveiled Thursday, will revolutionize telephones.

It unifies your phone numbers, transcribes your voice mail, blocks telemarketers and elevates text messages to first-class communication citizens. And that’s just the warm-up.

If you have multiple phones, having a single number to reach them all can make you and your callers' lives a bit easier, and it can save space on your business card by not having to list separate numbers. The concept is simple: people are trying to reach you--not one of your phones--and Google Voice lets you decide how to route the calls.

I've wanted to use bookmarklets in my mobile browser and it turns out that I can with Opera Mini! Bookmarklets require JavaScript which most mobile browsers don't support. But Opera Mini supports a subset of JavaScript sufficient to run many bookmarklets including the Post to Del.icio.us one that I use all the time.

I was starting to revel in the benefits of location awareness. By trusting an app (iWant) that showed me nearby dining options, I discovered an Iraqi joint in my neighborhood that I'd somehow neglected. Thanks to an app (GasBag) that displayed gas stations with current prices, I was able to find the cheapest petrol no matter where I drove. In Reno, one program (HeyWhatsThat) even gave me the names and elevation profiles of all the surrounding mountains. And another (WikiMe), which displayed Wikipedia entries about local points of interest, taught me a thing or two about the San Francisco waterfront. (Did you know the Marina District exists largely because a land speculator built a seawall in the 1890s?) These GPS tools were making me smarter.

And more social. While working downtown one day, it looked like I was going to have to endure a lonely burrito lunch by myself. So I updated my location and asked for company. My friend Mike saw my post on Twitter and dropped by on his way to the office.
