„Comment: This is a significant trend...cell phones have penetrated consumer life styles far deeper than PDAs have...It's always easier to get users to adapt to new functionality with an existing product...as compared to getting them to use an entirely new product. Interestingly, Microsoft's operating system doesn't have the same strangle hold in the cell phone market that it has in existing computing markets.“http://www.elearnspace.org/blog/archives/ 000890.html - Cached

„Push-to-talk has become the must-have technology for cell phones; new Motorola equipment offers support over GPRS, 1xRTT, and WLAN: PTT provides an intercom-like service“http://www.stargeek.com/item/76502.html - Cached
„But in addition to push-to-talk, the Nextel Motorola phones have a JVM (Java Virtual Machine) that runs J2ME (Java 2 Platform Micro Edition) applications, which can be downloaded and upgraded over the wireless network. In many respects, leveraging Java on the client with J2EE app servers on the back end makes handsets equal in capability to handhelds. In fact, handsets are already encroaching on traditional handheld markets.“http://www.russellbeattie.com/notebook/ 1003117.html - Cached
„Push to Talk from Verizon Wireless will allow customers to connect directly, in seconds, with other Verizon Wireless Push to Talk users by simply pressing a button on their push to talk capable handset. The new walkie-talkie feature provides customers with a fast connection to the people they communicate with most and the reliability of Verizon Wireless’ nationwide wireless network. “http://www.mobileinfo.com/news_2003/issue23/ verizon_p2t.htm - Cached
„Meanwhile, major network vendors launched an interoperability alliance ensuring broad adoption of push-to-talk over a variety of infrastructures — initially GPRS and EDGE, and later, CDMA. Though debate still simmers over technical performance of new offerings, the global industry seems to be rallying around one belief: Push-to-talk is the next killer app.“http://www.mobileinfo.com/news_2003/issue09/ push2talk.htm - Cached
„The handset also includes a threaded headset jack on the top of the telephone for users to employ an off-the-shelf surveillance kit. This universal jack permits an operator to attach an earpiece, a microphone and a push-to-talk button through one connection. Other accessories include a car cigarette lighter adapter, a hands-free car kit and data cables for transmitting encrypted data from a PC over the secure cellular links.“http://www.afcea.org/signal/archives/content/june00/ secure-june.html - Cached
„IT departments should consider the reasoning behind GM’s decision before recommending a handheld solution of their own.The technology includes GPS, Java, and push-to-talk, and in tandem with ease of use, it becomes hard to chose a handheld over a handset. Cell phones are also considerably cheaper than PDAs.“http://stlq.info/archives/000987.html - Cached

„However, as policy stands currently, the custom firmware in Sprint PCS 1xRTT handsets disables the Vision handset browsers’ ability to fallback to 2G WAP. Hence, in those “Additional PCS Service” areas, 2G WAP/data still works but 3G WAP/data doesn’t. In those “Additional PCS Service” areas, devices tethered to the Vision handset can still use dial-up to gain 2G network access via Sprint PCS or another ISP.“http://www.meetmyattorney.com/cellular/archives/ 000233.html - Cached
