That might simply be an internal rumor or just a guess on her part.

It was supposed to have been launched this year.

Only time will tell.

I can tell you that the PTT is ready to go. And it will blow the others away in features and reliability. The best feature is the ability to set up groups of people to "talk" to at the same time, up to 20. Contractor or manager needs to communicate to a staff at the same time? Select the group, push the button, voila!! Killer.

No limitations- it has more functionality than the Cingular offering.

Any info on what this will cost? How much will the phones be selling for?

Cingular is reportedly deploying the Kodiak technology, which has *more*
functionality than iDEN (Nextel).

True if it's in fact the announced Kodiak technology -- PoC (Push to talk Over
Cellular) isn't that good. But even with Kodiak the issue will be phone
support, since that will only work on special handset(s) (or with special J2ME
[Java Mobile] SIMs, which may not be forthcoming).

Kodiak technology, current generation, *more* functionality than iDEN
(Nextel), could be a big deal. The possible catch is handset support.

Wrong- try again. Having been a Nextel user and having played for a while
with the Kodiak stuff, nothing of any merit makes Kodiak stand out from a
user perspective. Having read the white papers on both technologies,
nothing of merit makes Kodiak stand out from a user perspective. In fact,
Kodiak, as being deployed by Cingular, will have many shortcomings when
compared to the Nextel product. Now, if you have actual extensive hands-on
experience with the two technologies as I have, then feel free to prove me
wrong. If all you are going to do is act like a misinformed juvenile,
please move on to the next post. I have no need for your stone-age,
kindergarten view of the cellular world. Of course, you'll respond because
you can't help yourself. And in this case, you should come with facts and
not opinions- try it for a change.

You'll have to better than that.
