I like the other posts on google too. I thought it was a compelling one, because I use google quite often for a huge amount of reasons and we are discussing it to great length in my advertising class. On another aspect of this, I always ask my-self and friends/peers in school, what is the next projected step in the future of techonology? Well, you nailed it in the computer aspect there David. Have a good week, hope all is well with the book and life in general--- keep me posted AJ Swenson David, Nice to be back on your blog again. I like the other posts on google too.

The first analysis that I have read of OHA reaches exactly the opposite conclusion. It makes the point that while OHA may include code for all functions, including unrestricted Internet browsing, there is no assurance that any handset will include all of it.
