Keep in mind that this unit (the GTA01) was pushed out early so developers could begin writing device drivers, custom GUIs and some cool apps for the phone. The next revision (GTA02), which will be available starting at $450 in October, will be ready for the mass market. It will have wi-fi, 3-D motion sensors and added graphics accelerators

Very interesting article.. I'm sure the U.S. wireless carriers are scared to death of Wi-Fi in phones that use their service. Minute overages will be come a thing of the past.

I love the idea of not being tethered to one carrier.

I wonder about security.....how many people will be able to intercept datas if sent with wireless ?

Already Blackberry is one bad example of bad security.

Very interesting idea indeed, which will spur a flood of wireless application developments.
