Yes, there are current non lossy compression utilities available even now. I personally use WinRAR. It offers compression on multimedia files in the range you suggested: 30-60%. There is another program called Wavzip. Same deal. But similarly to image compression non lossy formats will NEVER catch up to the lossy ones. They just cant. Even if they had a chance to - the usefulness will be displaced by cheap MASS storage, and higher bandwidth network connections. cAPSLOCK

RT..article discussing the speed of deployment of cellular internet connectivity and other usages of cell phones. They didn't mention music or dictation as options, but ...sure, why not? ======= Nokia introduced four models in the third quarter, including the 7110 model that is based on wireless application protocol -- the system that enables users to surf the Internet and trade securities. At the cheaper end of the range, bright colors and video games are aimed at younger buyers. By the end of 2003, mobile phones with Internet connections will surpass the number of personal computers linked to the World Wide Web, Ollila said. ``The takeoff of the web-enabled handsets is expected to be very fast,' he said. quote.bloomberg.com Best, Savant
