Have you heard about the Nokia 95. It's the first time I see a normal consumer camera phone which comes with integrated A-GPS. Looks a bit like Jon Udell's dream came through.

PS: Interestingly in Seth Godin's speech at Google, the whole mapping stuff is not that much of a purple cow - on the contrary.

Geek to Live: Send and receive money with your cell phone
In a nutshell:
Once you enter your cell phone number in your PayPal account and set up a mobile PIN (separate from your account password), PayPal's voice robot calls your phone on the spot and asks you to verify the PIN. Once the PIN's matched, your phone is PayPal-enabled.

Then, to send someone else's phone $5.50 in cash, text message PAYPAL (729725) the message send 5.50 to 7185551212 where the recipient's phone number is (718) 555-1212.

PS: The image of the phone in the article reminds me of this one;)
