Well, like i said, most people before phones became more than just
talking gadgets did not want apps running on their phones, or SMS, or
even color-screens (!). Of course, now everyone needs to have at least
a camera on their phone.

Security? Which is why Java is being used. Java has a sandbox model
that has proven to maximize security. There are about a billion more
Java devices than windows, and yet not one single REAL security virus
on it - just compare that to Windows, where you get a patch to
download every week or else.

Storage will be on the HD of the player/recorder.

that's sorta a stupid question. Your desktop PC probably has 80 GB of
space and yet you still install or download stuff, right?

Sure they will. They're the ones who dreamed it up. Obviously, there
will be some filter that makes sure lunatics don't get passed through
(just like in radio).
