Research firm Dell’Oro on: Weaker voice will hold back WiMax
I think this is a load of krap.
Does anyone know how well VoIP (or Skype) would work on WiMAX? If something like Skype works well, then voice quality would be even better than GSM.
Collins didn’t label WiMax a loser but said it will get off the ground slowly because it’s an underdog when it comes to carrying voice calls. Emerging WCDMA and EVDO technologies have closer ties to the cellular world and will be better equipped to handle calls over the next few years, Collins believes, so most users will hang onto them.
InfoWorld on: New software allows Wi-Fi access even on browserless devices
Seems like Demo is hopping this year with a lot of mobile stuff.
This little app is cool, even if it’s not being targeted at S60 devices.
I remember hearing of something like this for the Nintendo DS, which turns out to be their WiFi service (and I work with the guy who did it a lot of it). As far as I understand it, Nintendo cut a deal with providers so that DS users do not need a browser to use the WiFi. Cool. The Sony mylo (krappy device) does something similar with T-Mobile.
Anybody try these?
Devicescape’s free software, formally unveiled on Tuesday at the Demo conference in Palm Desert, California, lets users set up log-in information for multiple Wi-Fi networks and then get on those networks automatically from any supported device.
London, duh

There’s still a place for editors (or someone of reputation to vet something as ‘this is good’).
As opposed to Wikipedia, which uses citizen editors to perfect a single article, Helium offers a forum for experts to submit articles for peer review.

From the pages of the Boston Globe – Governor, mayor livid as Boston ad stunt spurs chaos
Seems like an outdoor advertising campaign went terribly awry in Boston.
Sheesh.
Lighten up, Menino.
For something similar (which is why I really posted this) – the Troika SMS Guerilla Projector.

In a statement, Menino said: ‘‘It is outrageous, in a post-9/11 world, that a company would use this type of marketing scheme. I am prepared to take any and all legal action against Turner Broadcasting and its affiliates for any and all expenses incurred during the response to today’s incidents.’’
