You don't decide between a Mac and a PC because of MHz, MB, or $.
You decide what user experience you want -- from the operating system and application software to the design and user interface.
Trying to compare all these numbers just creates flamewars because it's fundamentally an unwinnable argument. When you buy a car, do you decide between a Honda and a Toyota exclusively by its top speed or weight or fuel tank capacity?
Numbers are not worthless, but they're irrelevant to 98% of the computing experience (all but Photoshop:).
Actually the $50 includes 400 minutes of voice, which makes it pretty competitive -- it's basically your first 1MB of data for free. I called them and found out that additional data is $0.0075/Kb, or $7.68/Mb. Still an order of magnitude more expensive than Microcell, but at least it's closer to reasonable.
You can also see the original press release at AT&T Wireless. It also says that unified messaging is an available service, and that you can be notified of new email while talking.

Glad I switched to espresso!
Actually, espresso is healthier! You can see at David Schomer's Caffeine Study that espresso has less caffeine than regular coffee.
Unlike what some people have said above, 802.11 is only wireless. 802 includes other LAN standards -- Ethernet, Token Ring, etc. At IEEE you can see the complete list of IEEE 802 Working Groups and a detailed summary of 802.11 work groups.
Some of them are:
then how about renaming it to

Btw, I don't know much about Linux Torvalds but I am amazed that he developed an operating system before he even turned ten years old. Happy Birthday!
