Steve,

re: "Here is a statistic that is just plain staggering! The number of people who are using the internet through wireless handsets number... but yes actually in the thousands worldwide."

I met a guy in a bar who had a cell phone with wireless Internet access. It was about twice the size and weight of most cell phones. He showed me how it works, it took him about two minutes to pull up the local movies, I wouldn't want to try to do that while driving a car. I asked him how much he used it, he said almost never, he used it more to show people how it worked than anything else.

This is not to say that wireless Internet won't be a significant category. I think the form and the interface have to come a long way before it's mainstream.
