I would LOVE to see a multifunction card slot that supported various accessories, such as cell modems, WiMAX modems, etc. But when I first threw that out here wayyyy back when I was amazed at the opposition. Some people don't want expandability. Wow.

lol... what I imagine is that, at least in the US, our illustrious FCC is gonna have to remember that they are a regulatory agency, and do their job. And if necessary, Congress has to remember that they are supposed to legislate for the common good, and do THEIR job...

That one cracks me up.

Yet more incentive to redouble my efforts to get every piece of closed-source software on the platform either opened or replaced (see Advanced Backlight ;)).
