I would love to be able to video conference with them regardless of where I'm at. Just have a Blackberry with a small pinhole camera built-in on the front, just like the newer laptops from Apple. I could see my family on my screen, and they could see me. Imagine being at the beach and moving my Blackberry around and show it to them. It would bring me much closer to my family regardless of the distance. My family is overseas and I only see them once every 4 years or so if I’m lucky.

Have you found it to be significantly better than the 8700 or whatever BlackBerry you were previously using? Has it had a profound and undeniable affect on your life, or is it just business as usual? Post a comment and let us know (or maybe there’s a certain contest you would like to participate in to receive free Magmic games).

Once you know what it's like, you can never go back. Besides, the more bandwidth that's available, the more people will want to use appications that maximize that bandwidth.

It's so popular right now to just click on a video and watch it on the spot, when you want to. I've gone through so much bandwidth this past two months, so much more than what I ever did from '96 - '01. The future is going to massive ammounts of bandwidth. We're all going to be connected. I want massive bandwidth for my mobile devices, so I can get whatever I want, whenever I want, in exchange of cash. Comon Providers! Take my money and give me unlimited bandwidth.

Downloading music and video would be an awsome plus. If I could easily get video from the web on my BB I could watch tv and news, that would be fun. It would be great if I was traveling with a fussy baby to play Seasme Street for her. But best of all, I would set up a doggie watch camera and a baby cam so I could log in online and see what my Chihuahua is getting into and what trouble my daughter is causing.
