this would make me a hero with my wife. She needs a new phone bad! So please, help a husband out!
I have the regular t-509 phone now. I use the t-Zones feature which lets me visit any website for roughly $6 a month. I just can't install any mobile apps on my phone that do not come from t-mobile.

I checked on the dash, and I was told that I couldn't have the t-zones service on it, instead I would have to pay a $20-$29 a month fee to use any internet features but I could log on from a wifi spot for free.

The reason I pay the t-zones fee is to be able to check my email from anywhere not just wifi spots. And I have to do that through the wap browser, because I can't use the google mobile app with t-mobile.

Are all cariers like this, or did I just choose the wrong one. T-Mobile is quickly loosing my business.......Maybe I am just cheap, but I feel like I am getting ripped for just checking email.
I am in Austin for SXSW. Every one of those light poles is covered in posters right now.

I watched another guy walking along dropping little 3"x5" postcard ads for a certain club every few feet, that seems much worse to me.

Makes me wonder why this guy got arrested? He must have been a complete idiot and been a prick to the cops.
What I find interesting is that they are testing it with a "Dell" branded keyboard and Monitor. (I only recognize it because I....I mean, uhh, a friend, has one on his desk)

If there is Dell hardware of any kind going up in one of those flying space vehicles it makes me very worried....
I need to clarify....
This technology won't be used to cut grass, It was just easier to type that example (and a little less boring) than trying to type out how a curcuit board works.
The race has been on to build a molecular computer for several years if not decades. They idea is that instead of having millions of switches go on and off in a linear fashion (1 to 1,000,000), the "Bio Chip" can learn and do it simultaniously. Sounds like SciFi but it is less than 20 years away. Imagine a supercomputer the size of your Ipod or Zune.

EXAMPLE
You have to cut the grass of "the lawn" in DC.
With todays technology you have to cut it with a big rotating blade by going down and back in rows. (a lawnmower)
With molecular technology you just have millions of little nano thingys go out and cut a single blade of grass each at the exact same instant.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
