Mighty -

A quote from Cell Phones: Dial 'G' for Game:

"The wireless Web isn't about stock quotes and weather. . . . People want to have fun; they're looking for entertainment to fill the voids," said James Newcomb, chairman, chief strategist and co-founder of Indiqu Inc., a San Diego company that provides games to more than a dozen wireless carriers worldwide. "This is about mobilizing people's obsessions. . . . It's moving something that people already do and putting it in their hands," he said. "The good news is we can be there when they're feeling like they need a fix."

"This is about mobilizing people's obsessions..." - Couldn't have said it better myself - and I've been trying!

The melding of Games (in the most expansive definition of the concept - encompassing the pursuit of recreation in its infinite forms), broadband and GPS (context as the new, unique variable) will blow preconceptions away. Wireless will never recover.
