"Current mobile PC Net access isn't fun: 9600 bps with a mobile phone linked to a laptop PCMCIA card..." Jochen- Sorry. I didn't make myself clear. I'm talking specifically about using a mobile phone's teeny-tiny screen as the interface device. Not the PCMCIA card/laptop method you mention. Are there any users in Europe currently online to the Internet via their GSM mobile phones? If so, do you know how many? It's the current hot topic here in the US about how big this market is going to be. But, personally, it's hard for me to believe users will pay for Internet access on that tiny screen. But if it's thrown in free as part of a package it makes more sense. I don't get it, but that's not so unusual<g>. But if Europe leads and it's popular, it more than likely will be popular here also. -MikeM(From Florida)
