As more people in the United States buy Internet-enabled cell phones and wireless handhelds, they find themselves bumping against the devices' limitations.

They can send and receive e-mail, but not attached files. Streaming audio and video are not yet possible. And wireless Web-surfing is mostly wasted time.

But at the nation's premier wireless industry show, which opened Monday in Orlando, the promise was for data transmission speeds by year's end fast enough to finally make wireless gadgets attractive.

"These things are real now," said Charlie Golvin, an analyst for Forrester Research. "We're no longer talking about what it's going to be or who's going to have it. We have networks that are live today, and 2002 is the year that the networks become ubiquitous."
