I don't know what this is, but it is coming. In all the years of dealing with Sprint and VZ data people, I tried to explain to them that the pipe they so greedily tried to control was the one thing that if let go would inspire this new thing. They still hold on to it and want control. Ain't that the truth. I have noticed one thing, though. Web sites are popping up in droves designed to expand on Sprint's service, but more importantly bypass their control of certain content. Here's an example. It is the desktop version. Notice the name<g> 3gvisioncorrection.com IMO, the cat is out of the bag. Now the question might be, which carrier(s) spends their days and nights trying to stuff the cat back into the bag, and which one says fine, we'll give in like AOL eventually did when they embraced the internet in addition to their proprietary content. Most of the sites I've run across are dedicated to basic stuff; ringers, games, screen savers, and getting pictures to the handset not taken by the handset. How will downloading non-Sprint applications work? Probably more issues there than the simple stuff. And for GPS apps, the position location information would still need to come from the carrier, wouldn't it? Cooters
