That would be a much better way to merge cellphone and PDA. You can use PDA while you're talking, and keep the high frequency GSM antenna away from your head as well. It also looks much more stylish then putting a big fat PDA by the ears.
Here in Taiwan GPRS is quite cheap. 56kbps unlimited usage is only about US$30 per month with basic GSM service, or US$15 with premium GSM service. The service quality is pretty good, but you have to buy the expensive (about US$500 here) Motorola V60/V66 phone to get 56kbps. Otherwise you can buy Motorola P7389i at about US$60 and get 22kbps.
It's not very pratical to read email or use WAP on the tiny cell phone screen, so not many people use GPRS this way. Most people use it as a always-on wireless modem, connect notebook & palm to internet. One of my friend use GPRS for his desktop PC while waiting for ADSL installation;)

I don't think this is true, otherwise Google cache would have been dead already. If google can cache them, why can't ISP cache them as well?
Somehow I feel that those 3 Microsoft Office icons, W X P, sounds like Win XP instead of word excel powerpoint....
Maybe this is not coincidence?
