Gregg, my reaction to the pdQ is near orgasmic. One thing that's holding back as well at only the near orgasmic level is my confusion about how this type of device will send and receive data. Is it going to be just a dumb modem attached to a palm pilot, requiring full time air time connection, or is it going to be something like the CDPD Packet data service provided over the 800 MHz spectrum by AT&T or Bell Atlantic in my area. Something like CDPD is a lot more desirable, since it maintains virtual (actually they call it sessionless) connection to the Internet all the time, but only uses air time when you send or receive a data. Here is a CDPD modem that Bell Atlantic sells, made by something called Minstrel: bam.com Does anybody know if the pdQ is more like this Minstrel thing, or just a modem integrated in one small package with PalmPilot and phone? Neither the press release nor the web site are clear in this area. Maybe you can suggest to QCOM that they put together a white paper on the subject as other companies do, in order to explain the technologies behind the product and illustrate product in action and key benefits. Joe
