While there are many practical uses for this technology, like in museums as the article suggests." I'd like to use it at video rental places and CD stores to get product reviews.

I don't know about you.

But when I leave the computer I don't really wanna take it with me. I don't wanna phone that can get internet. I want a phone that is simple... I have a dad that has a pda, digital camera, gps. Its beyond annoying when you have to stop because someone in your group has to check the gps corodanites for the place you are at. Technology is great, But so is this world. Lets enjoy the world and technology, But make sure that we have a balance. If your balance is take your pda everywhere with you then thats your choise.

It's hard enough
to read the current
text on my cell phone
that has a screen no
wider than this mess
age. I can't imagine
reading lengthy discuss
ions of art works and
paintings on a cell
phone. I think my thumb
would break from hitting
the scroll button const
antly.

No, they aren't kidding. The industry is not going to be afraid of that if the review site is owned by the same company making the movie, which I guarantee will be the case. Every movie distributor will want a piece of the action to make sure the information you see and hear about THEIR movie is exactly what you should be hearing (in their minds). They will *pay* for that priviledge. And if your cell minutes are used to do this, so will you.
