Not to mention paying your bills on the train to work, and catching the news with streaming video at the airport. I think the 2G applications are interesting, but the 3G apps are what will be ground breaking. At some point in time a cell phone will be a TV, A bank, A creditcard, a phone, a remote device for activating appliances in ones house.

Tim, you are missing my point. I mean hardware, an actual device. For it to be a killer app, it has to have broader use than just getting quotes. The average user don't want to carry multiple devices, one to make phone calls, one G*, one for stock, one beeper, etc etc. The killer app that I am thinking about would be along the line of the calculator, the typewriter, the PC, the notebook. Is anyone working on any futuristic concept devices for 3G? Ramsey
