Dead, or at least in stasis waiting for a purpose in life.

Have you ever tried (or imagined trying) to use a tiny
LCD screen that can't even show your own full name as a
way of accessing something with the degree of rich
information as the Web has?

(I work in wireless and the topic rarely comes around these
days.  I'm quite sure some companies are working full speed
on it, however, and I wish them the best of luck.)
