What a bore. I don't want a "smart phone"...I want an Acer Aspire One with WiMax...and I don't want to pay for it...I want them to give me one as part of my Internet access plan. And I wan to use Skype with it to "call" people for free.

I don't think it will be a bore, but I do think it's just a step. I, too, look for the day when I have a phone where "voice" and data are not viewed as separate applications. Further, I'm looking forward for the day when we might be able to use our "phone" devices to communicate with people via a number of different physical devices all working together. That's the vision of the new ITU work called H.325. This will be quite interesting, for sure. We've hardly scratched the surface of what is possible with mobile communications.

If they had named it "Anadrol" instead of "Android"...it would have been twice as powerful ; Like an OS on steroids !!!
