Devices like the Apple iPad are large, touch screen displays which can provide 
great information display with a lot more resolution and font size then our 
radios.  I'm convinced it is time to stop asking the radio manufacturers to 
provide all of these features.  Instead, we need them to provide "network" 
centric interfaces to the TNC and radio control functions using a TCP-terminal 
server interface.  There should be an ethernet port and/or USB-to-WiFi connector 
on the radio so that we can use it from other equipment without silly wires.
