I also saw this PR, and thought 1) Why don't they build a phone into a Palm Pilot, 2) Mobile phones that could act as a connection to a net are not news.

I guess the fact that the phone has an internal modem(?) is the point of interest. Have you considered that there are currently handheld devices that use a software modem and need no extra hardware?

You may have noticed Motorola bought Starfish, which is a widely used software suite for addresses, calendars, etc which cover much of the function of the Palm Pilot.

I think the phone in the next 2 years will be a palm computer.

Regards,

Mark
