Mark, A little more on your post ... I've used the UP product. In fact, my boyfriend developed some of their early protos. Interesting, has it's place. And integrating voice with it makes drop-dead sense. Not only would you want to switch to voice sometimes, but sometimes you want to get the results in text (cuts both ways). For example: "Portico, send me all American Airline flights leaving SFO and arriving in NYC today". (And up pops a text listing of the flights on your phone's micro-browser). That kind of thing. UP can't make money on the micro-browser side. Basically we're talking a stripped down HTML browser that fits in a phone ROM. No, their money is on the server side, just like GMGC. And an integration would be easy, I think. Sea Otter
