...just voice calls that are under threat. As phones morph into data and entertainment devices, wi-fi chips will also permit phone users to browse the Web and download music without coming near a mobile network. Nokia, for instance, is building wi-fi into its N91, a slick, music-playing phone capable of storing 3,000 songs, due by the end of the year.

Their junior high worship area features a million-dollar sound system and mammoth movie screens that play to an audience of as many as 1,000 teenagers on Sundays.

The opening of the W Seoul Walker Hill in 2004 gave visitors to the Korean capital their first trendy alternative to the traditional (and near-identical) business hotels.

Blair's detractors condemn him as addicted to packaging and spin, and it's true he's slick at the arts of modern political communication. But they miss how naturally resolve comes to him. His performance last week was that of a man in full, an act of deftly judged juggling between directing his government's response to the bombings and trying to make sure the G-8 meeting of world leaders he was chairing at Gleneagles, a bucolic resort in Scotland, came to the ambitious conclusion on relieving African poverty that he has been straining to achieve...
