I hear production of cellulosic ethanol and 90%-efficiency solar cells and MEMs data storage are due to be released in just a few months, too.

Well, they did just win this Innovation Award..... #

True 'dat #

Yeah, I'm with Eugene on this one. I mean, MAYBE VZW will have some kind of change of heart, but I'll believe it when I see it. I have VZW, the service is great, but I expect there to be some catches. So far the one concrete thing has been VZW says they will allow non-VZW phones, as long as an example of that model is sent to VZW's lab and certified. What will the cert cost? And will there be some freaky per-MB/minute rates for the "open access" plans? Maybe, but that's what remains to be seen.
