WDL, <<Because if you don't keep that screen facing you *just*so* the person on the other end is going to be staring at your open fly instead of your face.

The very thought of millions of people wandering the planet with minimal awareness of their surroundings and one arm extended out in front of them...it's all just a little too Chaplinesque for me, >>

That is Chaplinesque.. But probably what will happen is sinnce the video transmission would cost money as well as cumbersome in many situations such as you describe, it would be used much less than 100% of the time. But most people would want to have the capability, so they will buy the handset. Would you agree with that?
