I'm a local to WDW, and I currently am working for the mouse. I read in the article that they were saying they would use the palm pilots with networking to call up shuttles (aka buses). Well, not surprising, they tried to roll this out last spring and it failed, miserably. They started at about 8 in the morning, and within ten minutes the whole system crashed. Bus wait times went up to an hour, and several GSMs (Guest Service Managers) were promptly brought to the ground and pummeled mercilessly by guests. After a few weeks, the costs got too high so they canned all the non-essential people involved with the project. Figures.
