Granted that they're probably not much, but I'm sure Q is already getting the first trickle of royalties from Japan. By the way, I highly commend the series of articles on 3G in the last issue of The Economist. One of the more important points which was made had to do with wireless internet usage. It compared the current atmosphere as being analogous to the late 80s, when very few people had any idea as to how massive internet use would actually be. The wired vs. wireless internet experience will be radically different, but no one really has a good grip on exactly what the differences will be. The obvious ones are defined by technological constraints and costs, i.e, battery life and cost of a wireless connection. Thus, we are likely to see very little endless web-surfing like we see with wired use. The use will be much more focused, suggesting that business applications will prevail over entertainment. Other than that, it's anyone's guess.
