Do you mean those great big touchscreen terminals?

If so, the best use of them is the Daum maps feature. These simply take the place of the hand-drawn local community maps much of the rest of Asia nails up to tackle its heirarchial address system. Navigating Seoul with just a postal address in hand is downright easy with them!

@Chris in South Korea I tried using one (not the phone part of it), it was alright. I just looked at what restaurants were in the vicinity.

I’d LOVE me some wifi – actually being able to check my e-mail on the iPod Touch without needing to emerge and find a coffeehouse. They’re probably too easily hacked or used for infernal purposes, though…

I haven’t seen one of these live as of this comment (I’ll be looking for it) – since everyone has a cell phone and every subway station has a pay phone, I wonder how many people will be using the internet phone.
