I've been looking into this issue in a related way.
One of the biggest opportunities for the Neo will be writing mobile
oriented data retreval and sync applications using gps/GPRS.
For example, imagine an application that uses GPS location information to
determine your car's proximity to your favorite grocery store on your way
home. When you get to within 5 miles of the store, your Neo uses the GPRS
to access a personal website page where your spouse keeps a grocery list.
If there are any items on the list, the application downloads the and
alerts you via your bluetooth earbud.
Unfortunatly, It looks to me like T-Mobile is currently not interested in
letting its pre-paid customers use GPRS to go anywhere outside their Silly
T-Zones walled garden.
Let me guess.
This contains such things as weather reports, news headlines, ringtones, ...
All available for a small per-use-fee?
Sigh.
They see GPRS as a profit source, to drive profit to their own partners.
Rather than a service to provide to users.
