Didn't some firefighter at that recent NYC benefit concert challenge Osama Bin Laden to come "kiss my ass - come get me - i live in Rockaway Beach, Queens..."
i'm sure it's just a coincidence but spooky nevertheless...
If you compare the service plans, it's obvious which one to go for:
OmniSky - esitmated $50 a month for unlimited bandwidth.
Palm VII - $10 a month for 50KB plus $0.20 per extra K
So a back of an envelope calculation gives us:
Assuming OmniSky is downloading constantly at 1KB a second (given 19.2Kbit modem) and there are 2.6 million seconds in a month, we could download about 2.5GB of information for your $50. The same amount of bandwidth would cost you (roughly) $520,000 using the Palm VII.
I know this all ridiculous but it does highlight the potentially huge cost of per/KB metering.
Now all I want is for OmniSky to make a Springboard module for my Visor:-))

Yep - I did post the correct story but it got messed up somehow - the link to the 61" plasma screen is here.
It seems something happened to my posting - I did check it thoroughly before I posted - honestly..
Anyway - the plasma TV I was referring to is here and it is indeed 61" and $28K
