However, this Celltop offering is the first one that seems easily accessible, crisp in its execution, available across a variety of handsets... even my dad can use it... and he is a technophobe. Agree on the developer info, but it is early days yet. I have not tried to contact them directly. What do you see as the competition? I hear you.

The widget development style for the handset is a good idea, but it's just a "me too" effort until someone opens up the environment completely. I'm just basing my comments off what I saw on the site, but the developer info was nothing spectacular. People keep inventing and reinventing widgets on the mobile and calling it a revolution. Yet each effort seems to just stand on it's own, learning little from the other efforts, and doing little to ensure the success of the development community. The data plan $10 is fantastic.

From a user perspective, it has lot going for it. Particularly if you are a Mac user accustomed to widgets...which are the closest analogy I can come up with for the 'cells'. Also, ya gotta love the data plan. $10 unlimited. This is a bit off-point, but I was interested in your take on AllTel’s Celltop UI approach. From a user perspective, it has lot going for it.
