And that WAP is in serious trouble:http://www.theregister.co.uk/000121-000001.htmlhttp://news.cnet.com/news/0-1004-200-1528787.html?tag=st.ne.1002.Aside from that... I am trying to imagine what sort of products would one really want to buy over a small WAP enabled device anyway? Little tiny screen, limited set of little tiny keys. I don't know, maybe it's just me (I tossed my cell phone years ago) but I just don't get it. My understanding of current European use is that it is mainly used for looking up things from databases (ie. phone numbers) and reading condensed versions of news type articles.Wireless WebDNA has a nice ring to it -- and SM sure seems fired-up about it -- but what is it good for in the real world, aside from admin purposes? Does anybody see any potential e-commerce scenarios for Wireless WebDNA? Pet food? Bicycles? Beer?Just curious, WendellBTW, for what it's worth, my vision of the wireless future includes Web Pads. Large color screens with a PalmOS style input system.
