I have a Nokia cell phone that's 4 years old (ancient, by todays standards) which is only capable of storing names and matching phone numbers in it's memory, along with ringer choices, redial, etc -- but it sends and receives calls very well. That's I need.
I think this article is referring to the new generation of cell phones and PDAs that have to use a OS (Operating System, e.g.,WinXP, Linux, OSX for desk and laptops).
