Next Killer Cell Phone Application?

Motorola Screen3 Originally uploaded by thegadgetguy. Motorola announced its new SCREEN3 service at CITA about two weeks ago. SCREEN3 is an always-on data service that pushes text and images to the idle screen of your handset. Kind of like the mid 90s screen-saver, Pointcast, SCREEN3 offers news, entertainment, weather and other configurable content that can be consumed passively by watching the idle screen; if you want more details, just click once to get the full story. This is undoubtedly the first appropriately designed experience of internet based content on a mobile phone. The V551 will be the first handset with SCREEN3 , but be sure many will follow.
