Have you heard about netbooks but aren't sure if they are a good fit?  See the business case for netbooks for mobile business workers any why they make sense in conjunction with providing workers with broadband data access.

This is the advertisement for W1MAX wireless broadband in Malaysia. The short 0:42 minutes videoclip opens with a wedding ceremony and the guests were talking about "potong" (cut) which ridicule the bridegroom whether he has "cut" (circumcised) or not. The final scene shows a scissor cutting off the cable of the landline.

So being broke this year didn't mean not getting a new gadget, as @Amazon has a promotion running today on cell phones. I got a brand new BlackBerry Storm2 9550 top of the line model for $0.99! That's less than a buck, plus NO sales tax! IF you were to (and you cant) find a deal like this at a retail store (the lowest I've found is $179.99) you still have to pay sales tax, which is a hefty number in Los Angeles, racking up at about 10% depending which city in the County you live in. This truly is the best bargain in cell phones Ive come across in a long time and they have other offers available. I will miss Sprint, but @Palms lack of build quality and lackadaisical responses to major issues plaguing the Pre & Pixis are just too much. The FINAL straw in my cell phone camels back follows: I arrived at my best friends house for Thanksgiving Dinner yesterday at 1:30PM & my @Palm #Pre battery which was FULLY charged was EMPTY by 6:30PM after taking a couple of pics, tweeting and showing my phone to a friend. Un-Frakking acceptable for a smart phone which I paid $200 for plus accessories. This phone STILL cant record video, doesn't have auto focus for the camera, has ZERO quality games and social media apps. Your loss @Palm. I'm happy to pay more for excellent service with @VZWOffers and get kick ass reliable service, high speeds, great build quality and access to hundreds of applications that I can truly use for my lifestyle.
 
I will update with an unboxing and a review of my phone (which is mine, not a PR unit)

Steve Rubel recently wrote a post entitled, "The Apple 'Tablet' and Chrome OS are Meaningless - the Phone is the Future of Computing." It's a good post worth reading.

I've thought about the concept quite a bit and left a comment on his post. I'm also sharing it here in the hope that you'll comment and we can start a conversation about it:

I agree with Steve - I see my cell phone being replacing my desktop in the not-too-distant future.

As far as the screen, battery and "dumb shells" - here's how I see it playing out:

When I get to my desk I set my iPhone (for example) down on a wireless charging station. It automatically pairs with a keyboard, mouse and monitor and switches to a desktop operating system. While "docked", all phone functionality can be done through the desktop OS.

When I pick up the handset it automatically switches to the phone OS, fully charged and ready to go.

Thoughts?

There have been rumblings about a Google Phone recently (again). Not an Android phone, but a phone that Google would design and sell itself.

The thought has been tossed around that, perhaps, said Google Phone wouldn't be a phone at all, but a data-only device you could use with a service such as Skype or GTalk. Some carriers offer data only plans so you'd end up paying $40/mo for 5 GB of data from which your voice usage would be pulled.

Then I got thinking. You can do the same thing with wifi on the iPod Touch.

And, you could do the same thing with the iPhone if, say, Apple made a CDMA version to go on Verizon's network - Verizon wouldn't even have to officially carry the phone.

Thoughts?

The Google Phone may be a data only, VoIP driven device. And Google may be lining up at least AT&T to provide those data services for the Google Phone, says one person we spoke with today.

Users could still make calls just like a normal phone, of course. The calls would just be over the data service instead. In fact, this is the exact vision Google proposed back in 2007 when they were bidding on the FCC auctions for the 700MHz spectrum.

Google can even issue phone numbers to users via Google Voice. In fact, I’ve already ported my mobile number to Google Voice, and Google has plans to roll out that feature more broadly. Google Voice can also handle the VoIP function for the phone.

The notion of a phone that doesn't make calls through a data network, and only through a cell network, is tantalizing. But carriers are going to cry out that they can't handle the data load. They better start investing in more capacity, pronto.

Neue Version des Richtfunk-Multiplexers Airmux-200 von RAD unterstützt Videoüberwachung


RAD Data Communications (RAD) hat eine neue Version des Airmux-200 auf den Markt gebracht, die nun auch die Übertragung von Videodaten aus Überwachungssystemen ermöglicht. Als robuster, ausfallsicherer Richtfunk-Multiplexer der Carrier-Klasse erreicht der Airmux-200VS einen asymmetrischen Datendurchsatz von 2 bzw. 5 MBit/s bei einer Entfernung bis zu 20 Kilometern. Damit unterstützt das Gerät Megapixel-IP-Kameras, bandbreitenhungrige Videoüberwachungs-Anwendungen wie Nummernschild- und Gesichtserkennung. Die leistungsstarke, sichere Drahtlosübertragung gewährleistet darüber hinaus auch die Weiterleitung von Alarmen und die Versorgung von mobilem Sicherheitspersonal mit wichtigen Informationen in Echtzeit – allesamt Anwendungen, die keinerlei Ausfallzeiten oder Qualitätsminderungen tolerieren.



Lizenzfreier Richtfunk

Der Airmux-200VS überträgt über die Frequenzbänder 2,3 bis 2,7 GHz und 4,9 bis 5,95 GHz, welche in den meisten Ländern lizenzfrei sind. Für ein Maximum an Abhörsicherheit wird die Datenübertragung verschlüsselt. Für noch größeren Bandbreitenbedarf bietet sich der Airmux-400 an. Dieser symmetrische Multiplexer unterstützt 50 MBit/s im Vollduplex-Modus über mehrere unlizenzierte Frequenzen unter 6 GHz. Dank der Nutzung lizenzfreier Bänder können die Airmux-Lösungen von RAD schnell in Betrieb genommen werden. „Da sich die Airmux-Geräte so einfach installieren und wartungsarm betreiben lassen, sind sie ideal für den Einsatz an Autobahnen, Bahnhöfen, auf Hochschulgeländen und entlang von Grenzlinien geeignet”, bemerkt Elad Harf, Product Line Manager bei RAD. „Die drahtlose Videoüberwachung eignet sich besonders an Standorten, an denen drahtgebundene Lösungen etwa aus Gründen des Denkmalschutzes nicht infrage kommen.“

This is starting to look like a tasty bit of kit. The company behind dovado seem to be really fast at pushing out updates for the things people want in this space as well. Obviously i'm not sure about build quality but the feature set of their latest usb modem is certainly a tasty one. Support for the latest 21mbps 3g networks when they roll out is a nice touch.

Product: HP LaserJet 1018 black and white laser printer
Asking Price: $55.00

There's really not much to say about this. It's a laser printer. It prints in black and white. It's not exactly speedy, but does what it does. Still good for those that print out a lot of documents. Just don't expect the speed of a copier. Definitely faster than an inkjet printer, though (once it gets going). According to the box, the printer can print up to 12 pages per minute at 600 dpi.

One thing I want to stress about this printer: out of the box, the HP LaserJet 1018 is NOT compatible with Mac OS X and Linux-based operating systems. This is a Windows-only printer. That being said, there is a small possibility to get this printer working in those incompatible OSes, but it requires a LOT of work and is still NOT guaranteed to work. You've been warned.

Product: HP 2101nw Wireless G USB Print Server
Asking Price: $35.00

Let me start out by saying the name of the product is a lie. Let me explain. Although this is a wireless print server, it's not a TRUE networked printer device.

To use the printer wirelessly, each computer must install the Wireless G USB Print Server software (available for Windows XP and Vista, and Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 at http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=3662206&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&submit.y=0&submit.x=0&lang=en&cc=us). Before you can print, you must tell the software you want to connect to the print server (though the Notification Tray or Dock icon). Your computer will take a couple moments to recognize the printer, at which point you'll be connected and then can print.

Only one person can be connected to the print server at a time, thus if anyone else is connect, they will be disconnected if someone else connects. With this understand, the device is really more of a wireless USB port and not a print server (although compatible HP printers are the only thing that can be connected to this). For a list of compatible printers, head over to http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01428401&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3662206.

Outside of it's true functionality, it does work as it should. A printer doesn't have to be connected directly to your computer anymore and can be placed anywhere within range of your wireless router/access point. This is definitely useful for those with space issues.
