You will be absorbed? I wonder if we will get our background maps from Microsoft or ...... ? FYI MidNight Mapper aka neil >>>>>>>>>>>> "Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) and Verizon have joined forces in a manner likely to have broad implications for the U.S. wireless market. They have agreed to deliver mobile data services based on the MSN platform to Verizon's extensive customer base. " "Currently, about half of Verizon Wireless 30 millions subscribers have Web-enabled phones, Nelson said, and the new portal initially will provide these users with services that include instant messaging, Hotmail e-mail and enterprise software." "The deal will involve the development of devices as well. " "Noting that the deal is an exclusive alliance, Nelson said the two companies are committed to developing Windows-based smartphones and PDAs with service linked to mobile Outlook applications." "Verizon Wireless offers Web services for US$6.95 per month to its customers with the appropriate devices, Nelson said. " "In addition, the carrier currently is offering a promotion of $40 for 300 daytime minutes, unlimited nights and weekends, and the mobile Web connection." http://www.wirelessnewsfactor.com/perl/story/17908.html By Jay Wrolstad Wireless NewsFactor May 23, 2002
