Cell Phone Powered By 'Supercomputer' Demoed

Accenture's research labs in Nice, France, Tuesday showed off an application that enables a cell phone to act as a thin client to massive compute power (well, a Windows XP laptop, anyway) essentially transforming it into a CELL PHONE SUPERCOMPUTER. The picture shows part of the demo where the phone's camera snaps a photo of a cheap print of Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring, and the system recognized the painting, and returned information about it from a database. I want one.

Even creepier is that Sprint is unveiling their new system soon that is going to go one step further.

Snap a pick of ANY bar code and send it to Sprint and they will then shoot back to your phone (and email) all the information you could ever want about that item.
