If you like adult gadgets, these toys are very, very cool. Business takes me to Seoul at least twice a year for corporate meetings. Great city with lots of media playing constantly, 24/7. I`ve seen, for lack of a better way to describe, ``PDA style`` toys that receive broadcasts, movies, personal video, ads, and even phone calls. They double as web / email interfaces. Many younger Korean couples no longer own a land line in their expensive apartments, some do not own a traditional TV, just PC w/ monitor -- both trends will be here soon and bodes well for any company playing in the wireless interface game as well as one that might be able to do so with a high degree of security.

If you are in a decent Seoul resturant you will see hundreds of people ``playing`` on these types of devices.

Who wins? Samsung & LG.

Who looses? anything from Japanese brands.

...just another $0.02 and worth all of what you paid...
