Georgeb, No. But I have heard basically it is wireless PDA, notebooks, cell/digital phones talking to other smart devices (i.e. home settop boxes, garage doors, kitchen appliances, etc. etc.). Communication is via satellites or some form of GPS where your portable devices is tracked and within certain distance from your home, your dinner starts cooking, garage door opens, lights, music, etc. etc. Sounds like a real neat ideas. I know Lucent has a hand in the SIG (Special Interest Group), but not clear as to how big a part they will play. Mikey
