Boo-urns. Feeling slightly under the weather (ok, feels like a frog in my throat, but it could be worse).
Gave a friend the P2P social software spiel, he brought up a good point about data scraping, lack of double blind transactions—which is true, that’s a whole different issue…
Also, been looking into mobile devices after learning that when using GPRS (more info), voice calls are shunted directly to Voice Mail if data is being sent or received. It looks like right now, using Sprint’s 1xRTT is a pretty much the same, allowing incoming data while dormant. Sometime this year Sprint may be aiming for the ability to suspend active data to receive incoming voice.
Frankly, I’m rather surprised by this VM behavior, and I think that 90% of people aren’t aware that by transferring data they have a good chance of missing calls. What’s the point of having data services if it means that people can’t reach you when they need to?
