Wireless connectivity isn't too special these days, nor is streaming radio. Tiny high-power PDAs aren't too impressive either. But a co-worker put them all together - listening to streaming radio over a small, handheld PDA, with no wires attached - and it's ultra-cool. He's got a headphone jack on the unit, too, so he could easily plug in and take his music with him around the office, coffee house, etc.

This reminds of what's cool about being a geek. The rest of the world will need to wait a long time before this kind of thing is mainstream enough to buy it at Fry's or Best Buy and set it up yourself. Sure, anyone could go buy the same pda and follow the same steps, but most computer users don't have the skills to configure anything more complicated than a vcr (and we all know how many vcrs still flash 12:00...).
