Dwayne..Good post, what are these threads you refer to? "RIM's email push app is close, but IMO not enough by itself. (Ref "The Gorilla Game" by Geoffrey Moore, and the G&K threads here on Silicon Investor)" Re:Your statement "My choice for a killer app, and either Palm or RIM is capable of doing this I think, would be audio instant messaging -- cellular phone + voice mail + messaging like ICQ or AOL has. You would go 'online' by turning on your pager, at which time you would pop up as 'active' on each of your friend's pagers, and you would see which of them are online, and can speak back and forth without dialing. Combine with voice mail, and I think it would sweep the market. (not my personal cup of tea, but the 18-25yr crowd would eat it up," Check out last nights 60 minutes piece on the Finnish and Nokia...That is exactly the scenario they were showing..They are the most advanced "cellular culture in the world" You can order food , play a jukebox in arestaraunt even get balls at the driving range via your cell phone. It is in fact a wallet already!Now if they can only get them to work in the sauna!-Rampant
