4. Sending and receiving photos
5. Playing movies
6. Playing games
7. Chatting via text
8. Talking to another person or animal

Of interest might be the Merlin C201 PC Card which Sprint offers and 
that will connect a Powerbook to the internet at 3X dialup speeds 
rather than 1/4th or so as some phones will.

The fastest desktop modems deliver about 46K bps, the slowest cell 
phones about 9k bps and the Merlin 230K bps. Download times at Max 
KB/sec are 4.6 for dialup and 13 for the Merlin. The slowest cellphone 
would do less than 1.

Bluetooth downloads will be limited by the speed of Bluetooth, which I 
do not know at this time.
