Chaz, I think Eric put in the main answer. I'll direct you again to an old favorite, Future Zone. dataonsms.com This seems to have a nice general ramble about the entire story on bringing advancd services to wireless phones/devices. As far as the microbrowser is concerned, I don't think it's such a big part of phone.com's game plan. They have a product which they practically give away. Many hardware makers are bundling it in for a small royalty, and some make their own. I think the real action is selling the server side with products that pre-digest the data for special devices, mail and Short Message Service, and provisioning which is allowing the operators to control the character of the phones dynamically from a remote location. Persoonal Information Management is also a big factor, but again it might be a give away. All the big portals are developing these applications as they are very sticky. There will probably be other things that come into future play such as security, graphics tricks, etc. Hope that helps. Gotta run. Regards, Mark
