Thought it might be of interest that this article reports that Star Trek-esque communicators are now a reality. In a limited capacity, yes, but it's still a working product.

I really like this gadget and I can see that it might be useful in certain areas. I don't know whether it would ever take the place of the mobile phone, though. Although it's easy enough to guess the other half of someone's phone conversation just by listening to their half, there's something about knowing that people around can hear both sides that makes this device seem much less private. I know that's an illusion but illusions can be powerful things.
