   I don't think we're *quite* there yet.  Going even further back,   
   proto-cyberpunk or whatever you might call it, the protagonist in   
   Brunner's _Shockwave Rider_ could re-create a complete identity from a   
   phone.  Are there any reports I've missed (I'm such a troglodyte) of   
   similar exploits with a iPhone or a Blackberry?
