You ain't seen nothin' yet. Start with the Palm Treo 650 and go on 
from there. Verizon and others are rolling out video services and you 
can already watch the network news an hour after it's been broadcast 
as a podcast. Until I can find a headset with a video projector that 
uses my eye as the screen I'll use a brain surgeon's magnifying 
headset as I drive. I want one with enough depth of field so that 
stop signs look like billboards and I can see the license plate of 
the car I'm about to hit very clearly.

I'm already prepared for the "It's HD Quality" hype. My Tungsten T5 
has close to a 16:9 screen, so I should be able to watch Jerry 
Springer in "mini-HD" any day now.

My current phone will do music, video, ringtones (ASCAP licensed), 
web browsing and GSM data. The only problem I have is using it as a 
phone. Coverage isn't great.

A court ruling is due anytime now about the Blackberry. It seems the 
company that makes them doesn't have the rights to something very 
important to its operation. Your Blackberry may die any day now.
