Releasing a new handset with Android 1.5 should be made illegal, with electric-testicle shock as punishment (One shock for each handset sold).

Businesses love it as they can use group dispatch features much like old-school 2-ways - it's a modern walkie-talkie, if you will that works anywhere you want to be.

I hope this supports MotoTALK mode however - allowing you to go "off network" within a 6 mile range just like an old school walkie-talkie.]]>Mar 22nd 2010 4:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/22/motorola-makes-i1-official-melds-android-and-push-to-talk-this/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/22/motorola-makes-i1-official-melds-android-and-push-to-talk-this/Your description of push to talk was much better than mine.

I guess I'll be one of the people you'll hate when I use my Direct Connect (aka PTT).

And even then wiDEN wasn't advertised too much - and it was only usable on some phones via hacks - namely, Radio Service Software.

wiDEN was ~90 Kbit/s and iDEN today is about 14 to 19. I could pull 9 Kbps tethered... and I have the speedtest from a while back to prove so.
