Waste my money and I will be annoyed. Waste my time and I will be PISSED off. My friend, I think that you mean well, but there is not the slightest bit of substance here on your blog. I have worked very closely with the technology that framed the development of the internet, before the hype and to this day. The mobile platform is getting better, however it is quite limited at this point in time. Don't hold your breath. Wait until something substantial comes along, like the discovery of lightning quick bandwidth for mobiles, better processor chips for computing power, software and human interfaces to support the hope and not the hype. Get real and get smart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
