You may want to look at www.youmail.com, they have been doing this for some time now. It's a pretty good service, I imagine Google will copy most of if.

Business Week just did a story on femtocell's, according to them this is a way better deal for the carrier than the customer. We pay them to fix their poor coverage, apparently so...

Oh yea, I'm going to jump on that spaceship right away. Any country that that breeds a philosophy that it's OK to poison your own children can be totally trusted to build this.

Not new, this has been tried before by a small company in Austin called Nanocoolers, they went bust about a year ago. A couple of problems with the technology. While it works, liquid metal is toxic, no how, no way to get around that it just is, think mercury and you get a sense of this stuff. That issue comes into play with disposal, you can't just toss it in the trash, all computer mfg have to be Rohas compliant, this is not.

Also it is very expensive so anything larger than a small system is going to cost way to much. If it leaks it certainly is going to fry whatever it touches and then how do you clean it up?

Other than very esoteric applications it will never be mainstream.

Take a step back in time when cell phones first came out, there was no ban on using them on a plane. The carriers however could not figure out how to bill the user, at the time everything was billable, time, distance ect. So when you used your phone on a plane and the thing switched from tower to tower that was a problem. They lobbied congress to ban usage on planes with the argument that it could cause interference and our incredibly bright representative took the cash and banned the phones. Now it's conventional wisdom, cell phone cause planes to crash with zero evidence to back that up. My question, what type of phone do you have that works on a plane? I loose my signal just after takeoff.
