Motorola Plans Wi-Fi Cell Phones

Posted by timothy on from the wifi-jump-ropes-are-next dept.

Otto writes "This AP article over at CNN talks about Motorola's plans to create a cell phone that can seemlessly switch calls between cell networks and VoIP over WiFi, when it sees WiFi available to it. Thus reducing on call costs. Personally, I think it'd be cool just to have a cell phone that could use my own WiFi at home and be cellular when I'm out in the rest of the world."

    I wish they would develop a cell phone that didn't cause cancer. I have had five moles removed from the back of my ear in the last two years and am going in for a CAT scan next week because the doctor fears some kind of malignancy in my brain. All these doctor vists are cutting into my SLOC/month rating at work. I want to be a feature coordinator on our XP team, but am about 20 SLOC/month short of being considered.

      You can say whatever you want about the Jews and Muslims, but beheaders don't deserve to live.

      You'd want to hack off a few heads if a few Muslim extremists invaded your neighborhood, wouldn't you? They're protecting their own sovereign territory from a foreign invasion by an invading force which tortures and humiliates its own prisoners of war, in violation of the Geneva Convention. You may not like their methods, but they do have a basic human right to protect themselves from an oppressive invading regime.
