then for sure, my device to want is something inbetween. I want the phone use (it will have HSDPA/RevA, whatever cell technology they choose for mobile web anyway) so that I'm not paying for multiple web access. wifi alone isn't enough - not for 'web anywhere' type of an initiative.
They just need to do a major upgrade to IE mobile. Microsoft licensed flash le, or whatever, from adobe. That's got to be a look into what's coming, plus silverlight, or whatever that's called. I think they're starting to realize that we users are utilizing the web MUCH more and our dependency on it as an application is rising more than they previously thought, for mobile use. especially for the mobile business. MOBILE WEB NEEDS ARE HIGH, and wanted.
whew, rant on that long enough...........

until i see it, i'm just going to dream about the 'perfect' MID type device. A somewhat pocketable, 4" WVGA screen with a slide out keyboard that has an advanced WiMo. I want my MID to be able 'Phone Home' when I need to (while browsing the traffic, checking movie times, and my email at the same time, all in a way i'm already accustomed to). Is that so much to ask???
