The startling embrace of the cell phone as much more than an aural communication tool has been perhaps more dramatic than the revolutionary explosion of the desktop Internet. Libraries, happily, played an important role in that IT boom; in contrast, the commercial sector has been much quicker to see opportunities in serving multimedia content to handhelds.
