Some years ago people with egg-shaped heads realised that they should buy a product that had the rest of us laughing when we heard what they had spent their money on ………. they had paid billions of dollars…………..for air…………………….good old fresh air.
Now, Mr Cingular, Mrs. Vodaphone and Miss T-Mobile are selling it back to us in the shape of third generation (3G) mobile phones that allow you to check prices on the New York stock exchange, e-mail naked girls in Amsterdam (allegedly), watch the BBC news and remind you that next Wednesday is your wife’s birthday. In essence, if you buy one of these phones, you are getting a Filofax, a television, a cinema, a portal to the Internet, a computer, a video camera, a camera, a calculator, a Walkman music player thingy, and a photograph album . ………………Great, but is it necessary?
