we are just catching up on a huge email backlog and I can assure you that our

I try to keep a close eye on mobile phone technology, I’ve been invoved in some projects where phones & the GPRS network have been used for some very interesting applications, Russel Beattie has an interesting article on how Linux is now or is going to be the platform of choice, here.
