Still waiting for Oxtard, the sole expert of Apple history, to reach
into the archives and tell everyone...

Interesting excuse... basically you want others to read your mind to figure
out what *you* think is important. Heck, Adele Goldberg has a pretty large
influence in many areas, so what one thing you are thinking about is pretty
much a guessing gsme. SmallTalk and its influence on AppleScript /
HyperCard? Is that what you are thinking? Who knows... you are simply not
willing to say unless people play your game.

Internet tablets such as the Nokia N800 already support VoIP... and I'd defy
you to find many people who routinely use one who aren't also carrying a cell
phone. The landscape is certainly set to change in the next, say, five years
but today for a serious phone user (who cares primarily about reliability and
not so much about the cost) wirelesss VoIP alone isn't viable.

Anyone would see through that -- once you already have a data *network* in
place, adding the extensions to support prioritized traffic (needed to get
decent performance for VoIP) is easy.

Not at all.

That Oxtard misses it, and that you miss it, is your problem.

Gee, I even played your guessing game. Face it: you are merely playing it
to get attention...

Glad that iphones are still regarded purely as a gimmick here in Australia.
They're a load of shit.
