Yep. Its a compression thing, it compresses the data before shipping it over
the air. I'm sure for html and other text or highly compressible material,
it'll be great. But for the things I'm interested, like streaming mpeg and
other video formats, it'll be worthless.

Although, from a hackability standpoint, the gs has more ram, flash, and cpu
power than the plain g has.
