I had that same sort of a-ha moment yesterday when I found my old (circa 00-02?) 
startac and turned it on to see if the battery was good. It was the first 
digital phone that was available in my area, and was as tiny as anything you can 
buy today.

What blew me away is that it came right up instantly.

That was what two generations ago for me. My current two year old cell phone 
V-720 takes several seconds to boot up when turned on, and I'd bet that if I 
went into a cell store today and bought something that I'd like to upgrade to 
I'd be waiting 20 seconds to use the silly thing.

Requisite filePro tie in...
Since there was a version of filePro created to run inside Java, how come there 
is not version of filePro to run in my Java enabled phone today?
