Very cool. Thanks Jim. I'm begining to think the "cell phone" is the long-awaited "killer app" for the internet.

Sounds cool!
Mate that tuner to this e-paper --

Imagine one device that does all of these things:
1. Cell Phone
2. Palm / Pocket PC organizer
3. Web browser / email
4. Mp3 player
5. TV!!
The first 4 are almost there now, add in tv and you have a new best friend (with a monster battery).

Is that all you want? Korea's already got one with that plus GPS, camera, and video. Samsung MITs M400.

I thought of camera and gps but I was in a hurry. These would be less important to me.
Something that had ALL 5 of my list above would be enough for me!!
Oh and by the way, it needs to have a good user interface and not cost too much...... ;)
