Moonray: Thats a good move but not sufficient. The biggest market for Wireless Palms is the Teenage market. You got to give them games, puzzles , class Homework solutions/access, Shopping channels, Movie clips, Radio, & T.V.,Cellular & Paging Learn from the Maestros Coke & Tobacco, catch em young.!
