But few manufacturers make souped-up handsets and the networks are idle?while the world continues to simply talk on their cell phones. Will 3G be greeted with a similar yawn? DoCoMo is putting on a brave face, insisting it will be the first 3G provider on the planet. Its big competitor these days: the Isle of Man (pop. 73,000).

...There was even a been-there, wore-that feel to Oscar fashion. Sure, Jennifer Lopez wore a diaphanous top that illuminated both the width and darkness of her areolae, but I mean - yawn - we'd pretty much had our curiosity satisfied on that front a year ago. No offense, J-Lo. But it would have taken more than a pair of perky nipples to perk up this 2001 odyssey...
