IDEAS and Gaussian Distribution

One of the intriguing questions around the world of IDEAS (Integrated Data Engineering Applications) is what technologies are going to fold into it's core functionality most rapidly? If one were to map potential integratable technologies within the framework of a typical Gaussian distribution which ones would hover atop the bell curve?

Early interest from WorldAPP's customers does seem to center around forms, workflow, IVR, and other multi-modal data collection schemas involving scanning and even snail mail. Predictable enough you might say.

But who out there is going to be a real game changer? My bet is on a hardware company called Plastic Logic that is solving a critical piece of the "affordability" and "durability" challenge in field data collection. Take a look at this revolutionary concept http://www.plasticlogic.com/news/video.php .

This company gets it.
