I4U has now a review of this nifty little MP3 player. It's conclusion: "Overall this watch looks good, sounds good, and has a nice GEEK appeal (yes I am a geek) I mean, how many watches can you pull a USB connector out of, and hook to your computer??" |

I am not sure if palmOne is in the position today to act like this, but I am definitely reconsidering my decision whether my next PDA will be Palm OS-based again |

11:06 AM by sUnShInE in Archive | Handhelds and Smartphones New York City plans to build a wireless network of unmatched scale and scope, including the capacity to send and recieve data while traveling at speeds of up to 70 mph.
"No one has ever attempted this before on such a scale," said Roger Skidmore, vice president and chief product officer at Austin-based Wireless Valley Communications Inc., which sells software for designing and managing wireless systems. In fact, some vendors have asked whether New York would scale back some of its requirements, such as a mandate to support 2Mbit/sec. data rates and streaming video from thousands of users simultaneously. But But city officials rejected the requests in written responses. The RFP is "demanding and aggressive," Menchini said, but he believes that its requirements can be met. Bids from vendors are due by July 21, and Menchini said he expects to award contracts for three-month pilot projects to multiple bidders by year's end. The final contract is expected to cover five years, with options for two five-year renewals. Plans call for the wireless network to initially support up to 5,000 end-users and then be expanded. The RFP doesn't specify a rollout date, but Menchini said he wants installation of the network to start "as soon as possible." Read more at Computer World. |

IBM, who is responsible for all the tech stuff this year, is piloting streaming live action to wireless devices for the first time. Follow the action with a 'Pocket Wimbledon' version of the website, optimised for PDA display over GPRS. This year they're also using a secure Wi-Fi LAN with 100 client laptops and desktops and 60 PDAs. The units are deployed in the players' lounge, the press centre, and at access points around the grounds. Official Wimbledon Championships mobile services are offered by 3 and 02 in the UK, and ESPN Wireless in the U.S. Go Roger! Go Amelie! |
