No, we don’t have any official confirmation, shipping dates, or any other such data to hang our headline on. But from the reporting we’ve done leading up to this week’s WiMax World show in Chicago, we feel pretty confident to predict that laptops with WiMax connectivity embedded inside should be available for purchase sometime before [...]
As France’s President Nicolas Sarkozy is expected to launch a long awaited Digital Plan within a couple of weeks, the UK is now looking into playing a more active role in shaping broadband policies. “This does not translate into subsidies or structural changes in regulation, but rather a set of initiatives that could support and [...]
You can buy the Apple 3G iPhone unlocked from the Apple store in Hongkong. Unfortunately if you try to order and get it delivered outside Hongkong, the Apple HK online store does not allow it. But I am sure there are retailers in Hongkong who would gladly ship it to you. The Apple HK online [...]
Pleasant Hill’s muni Wi-Fi network has been up and running for three months now, offering free (with banner ads) Wi-Fi service to almost 70 percent of the city. There will be a paid option (no ads) very soon. The city set up a muni Wi-Fi network in 2005 for the police department at a cost [...]

T-Mobile rolled out its latest device, the G1 phone which uses Android (Google’s open-source OS for mobile devices). Now that the hype has finally died down, here’s my take on the phone: it’s rather ugly: cheap plastic keyboard, looks too much like all the other old devices with their cheap plastic keyboards (thinking of the [...]
After all the doubts, deals and delays, the biggest launch of WiMax services in the U.S. will become official on Oct. 8, when Intel, Sprint, Clearwire and others host a WiMax celebration/demonstration in Baltimore, whose residents will be the first to test Sprint’s Xohm WiMax services. The official press invite just crossed our email inbox, [...]
Boris Johnson, mayor of London, criticized Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s plan to give children up to £700 in computer vouchers to get them online.
