That what my point is. With the lowering of laptop prices, availability of wireless devices (which are not necessarily laptops) you dont have to have a chaffuer driven car to be able to use the infrastructure that was suggested by the Thread Starter. and there is a large community > who dirve the car themselves so this device will be of major use.

The same way 16 MB RAM and 1 GB harddisk was considered good enough at one time. Why are you restricting communication through SMS and voice? The employer may give the employee devices to ensure that employee checks emails, a server admin sshes into the system and fixes something even when he is watching a movie or en route to shirdi. Point in this case being, One does not have to be rich to be able to use such an infrastructure. One just needs to work for rich bosses. :) Hope this clarifies. We need to stop thinking in terms of what is existing today and who the users are. This is like saying, The jaunpur super fast express should not stop at Ramgarh village on the way, because there were never any passengers waiting for the train. abhishek __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
