E911 and appliances

There has been a fair amount of discussion of (US) E911 mandated action
etc. and I wondered, broadly, how much of this really applied to the
Internet which is what I assume this WG is about.

For instance, is any mobile device with voice capability (a laptop
with a microphone ??) deemed to be a cellphone and fall under the E911
aegis, or are we just assuming convergence and assuming that future
3G devices will all be Internet-capable and do VoIP or something ?

I don't have a PDA myself so don't have personal experience, but I kind of
think that something big enough to type on easily and to display a
reasonable amount of text or graphics (like a map) isn't going to fit in a
case the size of a phone, so that there will be wireless internet devices
that are not phones and would not need to have any capability to connect
to a designated national emergency service, (or whatever one calls
generic 911).

I may be totally wrong - maybe we'll have voice-activated sunglasses with
a megapixel heads-up display that does everything, e.g. Steve Mann's
system at eyetap.org.

(I saw some Nokia 3G prototypes on a TV show recently -all with
built-in video cameras)
