Well, this German company even got as far as constructing a working prototype before going bankrupt a few months ago:( would have been a great idea, though.
They even mention a cooperation with Lockheed on their frontpage;)

Here in Austria, there's no general discussion in the mass media, but the University of Linz blocks all attempts to connect to napster and gnutella servers, and can take away lan connections in the dorms if such use is detected. The main concern is the bandwith, though, not the legality;) (around our University, 7 dorms (=3000 students) are connected to aconet via a 4 mbit line)
...is falling on our heads! I think/. has reached a new level with the responses to this article. Well thought-out and considerate, a real pleasure to read something like that again! Kudos!

Actually, Ericsson seems to get there... Their forthcoming R380s phone comes with quite a nice display and EPOC (Psion's PDA OS) as its OS (complete with pen and stuff;)) Although I've only used the Emulator (for checking the WAP stuff I do), it looks quite useful. Now if only they'd finally get it out;)
For the Emulator click here (probably have to register, tho).
