PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless Ah, the tablet computer.

Recently, the tablet has seen renewed attention - but will they succeed now?

I tease my wife about this time to time.

Isn't it about time these asian countries join the modern world and use some phonetic alphabet? Picture based languages are so 2000BC.

When you find a way to get rid of the homonyms in a phonetic alphabet, that might work. It's bad enough watching people confuse their and there and they're already.

Besides, Korean is phonetic and has been for hundreds of years.
