Sometime last year, MrSmith posted on ArsTechnica about gNumber and a service that would become UnWired Buyer – access your eBay bidding from your mobile phone (the service calls you, you don’t have to call it).  I fiddled with gNumber briefly, but it didn’t work so well for me – transatlantic distances can do that to you.  Turns out UWB have now managed to score a pile of venture capital (and get write-ups in quite a few places), so congrats to MrSmith :)
