Vodafone has already been providing users with picture sharing via their Vodafone live! studio product and video from Sky.

Link Rel=Alternative Media=Handheld

A tip, I gleaned via the Google Webmaster help pages.

You may request that a redirect for the user to an alternate page for handheld media.
In the section of HTML add a link

<link rel="alternate" media="handheld" href="alternate_page.htm" />

The alternate page can then be adjusted for use on mobiles.

A similar link can be done to have an alternative stylesheet for mobile pages.

This technique can also be used to help make your pages more accessible to your users.

Bendy is Trendy

Motorola's new Z8 phone has many features such as HSDPA, Sky Mobile access, a Micro SD Slot and the capability of playing video on it's 16 million colour screen at 30 frames per second.

So is everyone talking about all that?
No, they are not. The one feature that everyone is talking about is that this phone bends as it slides open.
