Yes, it was Limtex. I don't see the point of being able to download over a cell-phone. Why not to it cheaply over a landline; the storage gives portability? And if cellular is becoming cheap enough not to care, then why download at all? Just have a small buffer and a direct wireless connection to the server; that gives portability without significant storage. Logical need, though, has never been a requirement for consumer products. Parents might prefer teenagers to use their own cell phones rather than tying up family landlines.
