...there's been little worry of wily computers inventing ways to outsmart (and replace) their owners. The annoying little paperclip in Microsoft Word is no great testament to the progress of artificial intelligence. But the claim that computers can't create has been challenged by two recent experiments, in which the output of computer programs--rigid algorithms with little room for intellectual freedom--was judged to be indistinguishable (or even better!) than the attempts of unconstrained human imaginations.

These aren't high-octane versions of the leading programs, but exchanging files with desktop machines is easy. This year's updates will get you MP3 music on your handheld, and Palm's wireless Net access is just the beginning of what promises to be a huge trend in portable computing. Like everything else in personal technology, there's no single...
