Nothing new.
Neither is this demo apparently - since it dates from 2001.

Either way - iPods, PDA's and cell phones have not become interchangeble evices that EVERYONE uses as simply as a toaster.

Each is still isolated and not simply interconnected.

You are just sour because when you came pissing on our parade we didn't just take it lying down.
No, actually many mobile phones are combination PDAs now. You can open your browser on the phone, surf then net, download an MP3 and play it and listen to it with your headphones. Sure they are still $3-400 for these devices but that will come down like everything. So actually you are wrong. They are all interconnected in an array of devices made by many different companies.

Pissing match? You sure like to say that a lot. I guess that is what you are in. I am simply pointing out that we have devices and services available today to do everything this represents and are most certainly all interconnected. There is nothing new or meaningful in that video except the fact that they took a virtual window on a virtual desktop and made them both physical. And that has no use. It was basically a cool looking science project and nothing more.
