Related to MSN Direct - is it bidirectional service? I seem to recall
seeing that you can access gas stations organized by price or bring up
movie listings by title and it shows you theatres and times. is it
browsing the web or updating all that info all the time?
is it worth the purchase?

From what I can tell the data is transmitted by FM and one way only - to the
MSN Direct device.
