<<Victor you think Nuan's software would work better if incorporated into wireless phones. I see the point about using a phone to type a messages ( cumbersome), but what if you incorporate voice recognition into Opwv's software, then you'd be able to send and receive messages by voice. I'm speculating what could be later the future and a better product.>> Mark you left out the important part: "....and charge $2.50 / minute and have the carrier still lose friggin tons of money, all the while we are entering the first recession in nine years. " The only people who will use these WEB phones are teenagers. They want to email photos of themselves to each other and do instant messaging. And guess how much patience they will have for crappy product that is unstable and slow and boring and rampant with disconnections?? Normal people use cellphones to call their bus associates and clients from the road, and their spouses from the car when they're late because they're stuck in traffic. This is just like the huge market that was supposed to come from being able to turn on your oven and open your curtains from your car as you drive home. And home computer networking. Right. See Mark, you and William seem so removed from the real world, you can't even see the fallacies so inherent in your comments. It's so absurd. In the end, earnings per shares is what matters Mark. Nothing else matters. Nothing. Not dreams and hopes, nor hype and cool tech. Earnings per shares is what matters. Nothing else.
