...British network mmO2, "there hasn't been that much to do on them." The operators want badly to change this, 3G or no. Gearing up for Christmas, the wireless industry has begun a big push on a new range of whizzy phones that can take, send, and receive color digital photos. Holiday snaps don't sound especially revolutionary, but to hear the networkers talk, multimedia messaging is just about the biggest thing since rechargeable batteries. mmO2 chief executive Peter Erskine even tempts fate by invoking that dreadful New Economy buzzword, killer app. Pure hype? Maybe not. Wireless operators are looking...
...about GPRS is that it makes handsets, in terms of receiving data, less like phones and more like computers. "PC players, PDA players, games makers - all these guys suddenly have the same underlying technology," says Jones. Already, low-cost Asian manufacturers are getting in on high-end fare, like color screens.

"I thought it was very creative. You got to make things--cooking, baking, sewing. I got to color in coloring books with the kids and build forts out of blocks." But she couldn't shake a nagging desire to write...
Living in the Mexican neighborhood of Little Village has helped me appreciate my heritage. The neighborhood has boomed and is a lively reflection of Mexico in its color and culture. It was not until I commuted to a high school near downtown on the number 60 bus that I realized how differently people can experience “Chicago.” On those first few rides to high school, I realized how close I lived to one of the largest pockets of blacks in the city. Yet, I had rarely seen non-Mexicans in my neighborhood. I didn?...
