You've heard about how all you'll soon need is a cellphone.

And of course, you've heard all those terms being bandied about--3G, GPRS, WAP, and so on. But, fact is, while 3G (which should finally see broadband on a cellphone) is at least two or more years away, GPRS and WAP are here. But the bandwidth is so low that you can't do much.

The bottom line is--how many of us have WAP or even GPRS phones? Interestingly, there's something simple and cool and, most importantly, cheap, that plain vanilla cellphone users are using, and it's catching on like a bush fire.
