Mark, Slightly violates your desire to focus discussion on cell phones/PDAs but an interesting interview. Microsoft's Craig Mundle: upside.com Excerpt: <<There are five categories people spend their money and time on: entertainment, which is nominally the television; communication, which for most people is the telephone, the U.S. Postal Service and a little e-mail; information access, which for most people is the print media; personal productivity, which is the stuff people have traditionally applied personal computers to; and the last category, which I contend is still nascent, I call the "convenience" category. That hasn't gone far for the reasons I described [with respect to] our four-year-old efforts [in] home automation. But all five categories are being redefined by this world of connected devices.>> Paul
