We've already seen how advertising on TV doens't carry over to the internet, and I think the market of people who surf the net looking for pix for their phone is rather limited.

Selling from TV doesn't work? Since when? We have done thousands of signups over the years from all the TV spots we have done like 20/20, HBO, etc. We do tons from our Playboy stuff as well. 20/20 did over a couple hundred in a matter of hours then kept selling high for about a week after.
The problem with OhMobile I am guessing is that they were making promises that they could not keep and ran afoul of the carriers. I don't know that is what happened... just a hunch since i always got the "too good to be true" feeling about their pitch...
