not likely to happen

"technology will improve to the point where browsing on your cell phone isn’t significantly different from browsing on your PC but so far we’re a large step away from realizing that experience"

technology may improve but with cellular companies locking down and restricting content it will never be anything like the internet as we know it today. net neutrality. they are also going to nickle and dime you to death just like they do now with regular phone service. 10 cents per search? you can only search on yahoo because Yahoo is partnered with Verizon and is the Verizon exclusive browser...... that is the future unless they pass laws to keep it open.

Re: not likely to happen

Go buy some stock in Sprint/Clearwire. WiMAX can help push for neutrality on web content, but it needs to get off the ground.

Huh

@comcast.net

 I have EVDO with VErizon and I use it to stream net radio while driving.... use Google Maps on phone when I get lost (asking strangers for directions is a thing of the past) ... use Google when out and about and need to know something ( argument losing with Google in the palm of your hands is a thing of the past too!).

For me and with my Windows Mobile phone with EVDO, I have the full Internet experience in my pocket! Highly doubt this will change!

Re: not likely to happen

the browsing with evdo is still slow. even on wifi with 6mbps internet is still slow. not sure if it is browser or wifi latency.
