So what's the deal with this being smartphone only. imho it is naive to think that smartphone edition is the way of the future. Look at all the new releases from Apple, Sony etc - they're all looking to make touch operation the next big thing. What MSN Direct offers is cool, so why limit it to smartphone users with their limited displays and weak user interface? (Oh, and can you tell I'm a PocketPC guy!) N
