EDITORIAL:
'Workers warm to wireless'
by Kathy Foley
Sometimes it's hard to believe all the hype about the mobile Internet.
Can we all be torn from our desktop PCs and converted into mobile Web
users, device in one hand and fiddly stylus thingy in the other? I,
for one, am not too attracted to the wireless services currently on
offer but it's just possible that the arrival of third-generation or
3G mobile services could change my mind, and the minds of many others.
